Is it possiable to make a tag that differentiates between Supply Diffusers, Return grills, etc? My company standards are so that if it is a supply Diffuser, the mark has a square around it and the cfms are in a rectangle below, if it is a return grill the mark is surrounded with a triangle and the cfms are in a rectangle below. Is there a way to make one tag to automatically do this for me?

I don't think there is a way to make it automatic. I solved this problem by creating two separate tags, one for supply and one for return. We use the same tag for all diffusers, but use a dash (-) for the CFM on the return air diffusers. Therefore, I made a diffuser-return tag without the CFM label and put a text dash in its place.

Yep, there is no way to make this automatic as the software lumps all diffusers, grills, etc. into a category of Air Terminals as shown in the screen capture below. You can make as many different types of air terminal tags as you would like however, just create the types you need and switch back and forth between them using the pulldown circled below as necessary. Tag a number supply diffusers for example, switch your tag out in the dialog and then tag a number of return grills for example.
