Creating Custom‑Shaped Tag Annotation Borders in Revit (Rounded Rectangle, Custom Frames, etc.)
I would like to ask whether there is a way in Revit to create Tag Annotations with custom‑shaped borders for different categories such as pipes, fittings, equipment, and so on. My goal is to create separate tag families for each category, each with its own uniquely designed annotation frame.
The standard rectangular border is easy to enable by using the “Show Border” option, and it automatically adjusts to the size of the text label. However, I would like to know if it is possible to create other shapes, such as rounded rectangles or completely custom forms, that also scale or adapt together with the text in the project.
These tags are based on text labels and use shared parameters, just for context. Is there any method to create such custom annotation shapes that behave dynamically with the text? Or does anyone have an idea or workaround for achieving this?
I have attached a screenshot showing the types of shapes I would like to create. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions!
