ADT3.3 tagging too slow could be automated

ADT3.3 tagging too slow could be automated

ADT3.3 tagging too slow could be automated

(OP)
ok well duno if this could be done in lsp or vba but here goes using ADT 3.3 has a feature that liniks objects N' tags N' schedules together so that one could make an accurate count of things (ie. multiviewblocks structural members and among other things) but inorder for the schedual to work one must tag everything desired to be in the schedule but in taging things there are many steps first you open designcenter then drag N drop the desired aec custom tag into the drawing this starts the command called _AecAnnoScheduletagAdd
which then the command line looks like this

Command: _AecAnnoScheduletagAdd
Property set definitions drawing <C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural
Desktop 3\Content\Imperial\Schedules\PropertySetDefs.Dwg>: PropertySetDefs.Dwg
Select object to tag [Symbol/Leader/Dimstyle]: _Symbol
Enter tag symbol name <MultiViewBlockTagLable>: "MultiViewBlockTagLable"
Select object to tag [Symbol/Leader/Dimstyle]: _LEADER
Enter leader type [None/STraight/SPline] <None>: None
Select object to tag [Symbol/Leader/Dimstyle]: _DIMSTYLE
Enter leader dimstyle CURRENT <Standard>: Current

Select object to tag [Symbol/Leader/Dimstyle]:
which the las line is asking you to select an object to tag but u pic one object then it brings up a dialog to confirm what propertysetdefs you want included which is fine but you cannot do muliple objects at a time
any help would be deeply appreachated

if everyone helps everybody the world will be a better place
