Window with Linked Text in Legend, Tag & Schedule!

I was given the task to get the legend components to read text or type mark and have the Legend and the floor plan both reading same tag text!What it does is let me label the window say W1 in the window family for the WINDOW TYPE. Add a window tag it reads W1 in the tag. Finally when I insert that window into the window legend I have a text defaulty in that family to read the type so it says under the window W1 and any time I read number my window tags they all will update in a blink of an eye!Used for any Legend Component like Door, Window, Wall types!I've read in these forums that people are not using the Legend for WALL TYPES or Window Elevations, Door Elevations. I know you still can't Dim. walls in the legend but you can link a text into any item to report that item TYPE in the legend, to schedule, in the plans and change it once!Use Model text in the family to link to a shared parameter, then in the tag's label link that text to the shared parameter and you have yourself a link text and label tag!Copy Paste the Model Text into any window family you might have now by using model text in that window family, use a shared parameter to link that text to and link a window tag family text label to that shared parameter BAM BAM! You got it!
