BIMTAG command
Creates associative tags.
Icon: 
Description
Creates associative tags in generated BIM section drawings for the corresponding building entities in a 3D BIM model.
Note: This command can only be used on section
viewports.
Note: The GENERATEASSOCVIEWS system variable must be ON when
generating or updating BIM tags.
Method
The tags are created automatically for all building elements in the selected viewport.
Note: Tags are created as multileader entities using
multileader styles in _SectionTag.dwg. The content of such multileader style is
a block with attributes. Each attribute refers to a property of a BIM entity
type. BIM entity types are linked to a multileader style in _TagTypeToStyle.xml.
All source files can be found in the Support folder, for example:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Bricsys\BricsCAD\V18x64\en_US\Support\Bim\Sections.
