Hi all.  I hope someone can help me with a problem about tagging light fixtures and switches.

In our office, we associate switches and light fixtures with letters, not connecting it with lines as do most offices, ex: LF-5  is also tagged with an "a" if it is switched by Switch "a". 

I am having trouble setting up Revit so that I can do this.  I don't know how to modify either the light fixture family, or the light fixture tag to accomplish what I want to be done.  Right now, ALL the LF-5's in my Revit file will be tagged "LF-5 X" indicating control by one and the same switch because of how the tags are set up.  I want to do this a smart way and not have 200 pieces of individual text floating around in plan.  How do I set up the light fixture family or how do I change the tag properties to do this in a smart way?   

Does anyone else do this convention in their RCP/ power plans?  How have you guys worked it out?  Please let me know if I haven't explained my problem clearly, and I will try to clarify.

Thanks in advance for your help.
