When I go down to customize texts, I have two choices under customize text, "custom text" which I assume means I can't use automatic numbering. The other is "room and door ID'. This worked fine until I put the zones in.
Is there any way to just make it Door ID? I do not want the zone or room area to show up in the tag.
Thanks,
Tom

There may be another part in the library that would work but I am not familiar enough with the included parts. Creating your own door key in GDL is not too complicated either. You just need a circle or box (or whatever) with one text statement for the GLOB_ID global variable.

You mentioned you also are using door numbering. Are you using the same marker, and if so, are you using the custom text option. Does the custom text automatically number?

For door keys I usually use the room number and a letter per the NCS. I have used this approach since long before the NCS and I recommend it highly. Since you are numbering your doors individually I think you should consider adopting this approach. In general I recommend using the NCS as much as possible with adaptations where necessary.
If you want to post a drawing of what you are looking for and a description of how you want to use it, I might have a custom symbol I could send you.

As a start for a door schedule all one needs is the door number and from what room to what room opens.
Then ay a future time the type and frame is decided. I assume this could be delegated to the designer of the floor layout, but usually this door is selected by someone making the schedule and it is a total waste to ask this person at is tome of the design to intervene in the 3d aspect of the floor plan.
The in a future stage at he completion of the CD’s the door options are selected: saddle, weather stripping, hardware, sound and smoke, closer wit or without HO options. To infer that these options are to be selected and decided then a door is placed in plan or that the person deciding should revisit the plan is an aberration that if repeated and subscribed to inclusive GS denoted an unprofessional dilettante attitude. Lets be serious.
As far as the basic functions : t”he door number and from what room to what room opens” AC fails miserably.
Keying is something that is discussed and decided at the time shop drawings area reviewed. In most commercial situation is a futile endeavor to bring this issue in discussion since the parties deciding are not brought in the decision making process at the design stage.
For a residential project things are different but then AC is more then a residential software, is it ?

Use zones to define the room and ID values to define the door and the interactive door schedule and AC will do what you describe.

I also believe that the originator of the project should have the greatest grasp of the building(s) and therefore more able to assure the correctness of the work.

DOOR MARKER
and
WindowMarker
They may actually be DoorMarker70 (I'll check at the office tomorrow).
These both have options to display only the ID...
BTW.. If you don't care what order the numbers are placed in all your doors, use ELEMENT ID MANAGE to automatically number them for you.
