Is there a way to "Copy" & "Paste Aligned -> Current View" ROOM TAGS with the same numbers as the source view? I have a drawing set with several sheets, e.g. an electrical plan, a mechanical plan, an architectural plan, an equipment plan, and I want the room tags WITH THE SAME ROOM NUMBERS on each sheet.
Currently, I have to go in after the paste and renumber the rooms, and they still show up twice in my room schedule (easily delt with by disabling "Itemize Every Instance" in the "View Properties -> Sorting" Tab, but still meaning that there are two rooms being recorded by Revit while there is actually only one space being modeled.)

There is a substantially different workflow in Revit than in CAD. In BIM (Revit), you create - and refine - one model; the various "plans" you describe should be thought of as just various ways of looking at that model.
So approach the process this way: just duplicate a view on the relevant level, then rename it. Change the visibility settings (VG), scale, cropping, view depth, etc. to create just the view you are after.
There should only be one room tag in the model in any given room. Your work-around is resourceful, but you are swimming upstream against a pretty strong current.

Genius! I get it! (I tried it on a new drawing).
In that case, however, I've created a real mess. I would rather delete all of my duplicate layers (which have all since been re-titled), re-label my rooms on the source view (from which all duplicates spawned for any given level, and which as I understand, references off of a level) & add detailing/modeling, and create new views (with detailing) from the source view, which in effect would retain the same room numbers as the source view. I could then adjust the visibility settings approporaitely. (WORDY!!)
My question is, how do I distinguish the source view from the duplicates (so that I'm not duplicating a duplicate)? (e.g. If I make a room schedule, I get a massive list of rooms, which I cannot find on ANY view, regardless of my view settings. I want to get rid of all of these rooms and start labeling them on a view which can then be duplicated. And I want the room numbers to NEVER change.)
Or do I just delete all views, and start by placing new elevations & then levels from scratch?
ALSO
Does this mean that I should have a different source view for each phase (since some existing rooms are subdivided & numbered while others are joined and numbered), and how would I go about doing that without my phase 3 view being a duplicate of my phase 1 but with different labeling (or is that okay?)?
Any phase tips are greatly appreciated.

HEY!, Why do door tags behave the way I want them to?! No matter What view, What phase, when I drop a new door tag onto a door that has already been numbered once, it spits out the same number?! I want this behavior for rooms!!!!

If you first identify all your rooms in one plan view based on a certain level you should be able to copy to clipboard and then paste aligned current view in another view based on the same level. If this isn't working then something is wrong or your views are not based on the same levels or phase.
If you identify a room once, any other view that shows that room should be able to tag showing the same exact information as long as they are in the same phase.
Rooms/tags are phase aware and a room can only exist in one phase. When a room is the same room in both phases, untouched, no work etc...then you still have to identify it in the new phase but use the same number and name.

To check and remove any duplicate rooms you may have, create a room schedule.
In your schedule you'll see all the duplicate rooms. You can then delete them from here.
Steve is correct with regards to the room tags.
If the views are based on the same level and phase, copy and pasting room tags should be working.

So room tags are phase specific. And all plan views are based on an "Associated Level". That makes sense, and based on that, I was able to clean up and unify my 140,000 square foot project in about 45 minutes! That's all thanks to the awsome help you guys have all been, Thanks!!!!
I do find it odd though, that room tags are phase specific, but door tags are not. Any thoughts?

Room Tags define a room, door tags do not. Doors can persist across phases while rooms can not. Doors have a phase demlished perimeter. Rooms do not. Rooms change quite a bit in the next release, rooms will be an object that you tag as well but they remain phase specific.

I guess my only complaint with rooms being phase specific is that very often I have renovation projects where certain rooms survive the process unscathed (e.g. the bathroom adjoining the remodeled room).
Perhaps they will consider a parameter which toggles whether or not rooms are phase specific.

Hi.
I'd like to create a room tag showing sheet number where the Enlarged Plan would be located.
Is this possible?
Robbi.

You can not do this as a room tag. You will have to add a callout.
