      Field Description
      AutoCAD tag Tags from the uploaded .dxf file identify spaces on the floor plan.

      The tags that appear are those that you selected in the Select layers column.

      Note:
      If you do not see any AutoCAD tags, you can use AutoCAD software to change text or text objects into block references.
      Space Field The field in the Space [sn_wsd_core_space] table with which you want to associate the tag. For example, you could associate an attribute named ROOM_NAME with the Name field and give it a higher order so it becomes the second part of the name.
      Order Determines the order of processing for your AutoCAD tag to Space Field mapping.
      Note:
      Lower numbers process first.
