I am using Revit 2015. Is there a way to create a library of different size texts and labels. It seems that they are specific to a specific label or project.As an example of what I am asking, I did the following with out of the box 2015:1) Create a sample project using the Architectural Template.2) On Level 1, made a single room 20' x 15'.3) Added a text annotation. The default text sizes available were 3/32" and 1/4". I duplicated the 1/4" and made a new 1/8" size.4) I added a Room with a Room Tag.5) I added a Space with a Space Tag that I loaded into the project from the default library.6) I opened the Room Tag for editing and added a Test Note. The only default text size available was 1/4". THE 1/8" SIZE THAT I MADE IN #3 ABOVE DID NOT APPEAR.7) I selected the Room Name and selected "Edit Type". In properties, the default Labels were 1/8" and Bold 1/8". I duplicated the 1/8" and made a new 3/32" size.9) I saved this Room Tag as a new Family and Loaded it into the project.10) I opened the Space Tag for editing11) I selected the Space Name and selected "Edit Type".12) In properties, the default Labels were 1/8" and Bold 1/8". THE 3/32" SIZE THAT I MADE IN #8 ABOVE DID NOT APPEAR.Is it the case that I would have to recreate all of my text and label sizes in each individual Project and each individual Family, or am I missing something?Thank you.
