The OOB tags, while nice, don't match...so a googling I went to see what others have done in the past...
This thread on the AUGI forums has several options being discussed. I went with the last option, four family types, one for each quadrant - seemed to match the current office "standard".
Shared parameters had already been added to the column family, for the base plate mark, and size parameters (width, length, thickness, anchor rod diameter, and anchor rod quantity).
Yes/No parameters were added for each state and were then linked to the Family Type so that selecting the quadrant was done by selecting the desired family.
Not being able to shift the tag around (as you can with a leader) is the main drawback - if push comes to shove, specific tags could be switched to a tag with a leader on a case by case basis to improve readability.
Of course, it wouldn't be that easy, three of the four look fine, but the top-left tag doesn't seem to want to behave, it's not aligning as the other three tags at the end of the call-out line.
I'm calling it good for the moment, and now I'm off to try to get a key schedule to work with the base plate schedule, but that's a post for another day.
