Tagging Spaces

I use spaces for space management and building audits. I also use them for Room Numbering purposes. I have yet to find anything about tagging a space so that the space name can be visibly displayed on the floor plan. Can anyone guide me or help me with this? would a custom stamp work? I cannot figure out how to add a dynamic field for the space name.

    hello!
    You can draw a shape and text and then group them to make something similar to an AutoCAD Block. The text will be editable so you can change the text value to suit your room number, but it will stay all together in a group, so you get the consistency with the symbol.

    Draw your symbol, create the text, select them both, right-click and choose "Group".

    You can then add the symbol to your tool chest so you can use it in the future. Select the group, open the Properties, scroll to the bottom and choose the "Add to Tool Chest" and select the tool chest you want to add it to.

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for the reply and this is definitely what we currently do now. What I was hoping for is a more automated way by referencing the "Space Name" (similar to a dynamic element within a stamp for instance). I already create Spaces with the space name, I hate doing things multiple times.

    I manage and maintain 17 million+ sf and thousands of 'Spaces." There are other more efficient tools I and my team use for this, however, I am trying to create a more automated and "error" free process for our construction team that only uses Bluebeam and quite frankly, they don't really care to learn it, so any way that I can make this more automated will help me and my team in the long run. I don't mind doing custom coding, I was more hoping someone else has already created something similar that could give me some guidance. I can't find anything that shows how to reference the space name.
