    the tag you have used must have several parameters available - several of which have no values assigned to them, hence the question marks. There should be another tag that you can swap them out for with only the single value you want?

    Just fill in the value (replace the ?) and then all subsequent tags will fill out.

    Scott -

    see the attached.

    notice some of the tags fill out and the other ones that I want to leave as blank values for now, always show as question marks.

    Why do you want to leave some blank for now? If this is the casse, edit the tag, erase the fields you don't want to see, SAVAEAS a new name, then load into your project. Swtich the tag with the ?? for the ones without.

    Thanks for your ideas Scott.

    I see that there are work-arounds, but I am going to be slowly filling in the question mark fields as time goes by, and i hate to have to change some of the tags (there are about 1000 spaces)

    I have a tag that doesn't leave the question marks (see .pdf) but I cannot figure out why the one tag works fine and the other doesn't. whenever I change the good one and reload it, the question marks re-appear.

    I attached the 2 tags as well - any help s much appreciated. My boss hates question marks on drawings.

    Why not fill out the ? with a full stop (UK) or "period"(US)

    Yeah, the ?? are not supposed to appear. This was fixed in about version 8.0. Have you contacted support about this? I think your good tag is a newer version, and the bad tag is an upgraded one from and older version.
