I'm fairly certian I know the answer to this question, but I'm trying here one last time. Does anyone know of a way to make keynote tags look different between each type, material, element and user? I just want them to show up differently on the screen to give users an idea of what they are changing. I haven't found a way yet.

Thanks.

You could use different tags.   We use different colored tags but the user has to choose the proper tag when placing.

And once you get a few different tags placed in the view you can speed things up by using the 'create similar' tool to place more tags and not have to specify the tag type.

I've thought of using a different family, but that just seems like one more step for the user to take, and thus screw up. Any idea if the parameter is available to dynamo and a routine could be run to automatically change the type of the family based on the Key Source parameter?
