In Autodesk Revit for Electrical Design, arrowheads on leader lines—such as those used with tags, text notes, or annotations—are controlled through Type Properties, not through instance properties or free-end options.

According to the Revit MEP User’s Guide – Annotating Chapter (Chapter 47 and 42), the section “Modifying Tags” explains:

“Select the tag, and on the Properties palette, click (Edit Type). In the Type Properties dialog, select a value for Leader Arrowhead to add an arrowhead to the leader line.”

This confirms that the arrowhead is defined at the type level, meaning any change applies to all tags or text notes of that annotation type throughout the project. The Leader Arrowhead property allows the designer to choose from predefined arrowhead styles (like “Filled Arrow,” “Dot,” “Tick Mark,” etc.), which are defined globally under:

Manage tab → Settings panel → Additional Settings → Arrowheads.

Furthermore, the document specifies under “Leader Arrowhead Properties”:

“Sets the arrowhead shape on the leader line. The value is the name of the arrowhead style defined by the Arrowheads tool.”

This behavior applies to all annotation categories, including text notes, keynotes, material tags, and electrical device tags, maintaining consistency across all view types in an electrical project.

Therefore, Option C is the correct answer because arrowheads are configured via Type Properties, while the other options are inaccurate:

Option A (Free End) only defines leader attachment behavior.

Option B (Instance properties) does not include a “Leader Arrowhead” toggle.

Option D (Enable Leader Line) only adds or removes a leader line, not the arrowhead style.

In Autodesk Revit for Electrical Design, when a designer creates a panel schedule, the default name of the panel schedule view is automatically derived from the Panel Name parameter of the Electrical Equipment family to which the circuits are assigned.

According to the Revit MEP User’s Guide (Electrical Systems section: Panel Schedules):

“When you create a panel schedule, Revit uses the Panel Name parameter of the electrical equipment to define the default schedule name. The Panel Name identifies the distribution panel that supplies the circuits. This name appears in both the Panel Schedule view and in circuit information tags.”

— Revit MEP User’s Guide, Chapter 17: Electrical Systems – Panel Schedules

The Panel Name is a critical electrical equipment instance parameter located in the Electrical – Circuiting group of properties.

It appears in both the Electrical Equipment Properties Palette and the Panel Schedule Header. This name can later be modified manually, but by default, it directly controls the naming convention of the generated schedule.

In contrast:

A. Type Mark — identifies types within the family for documentation and does not control schedule naming.

B. Mark — a unique instance identifier often used for tags, but not for panel schedule view naming.

C. Description — provides descriptive text only for documentation or labeling.

D. Panel Name — correctly defines and drives the default schedule view name for panels and circuits.

When a panel (electrical equipment) is placed in the model and circuits are connected, Revit generates a new Panel Schedule View automatically titled using the value entered in the Panel Name field (e.g., “Panel LP-1”). This ensures consistency between the modeled equipment and the schedule documentation.

Verified Reference Extracts from Revit for Electrical Design Documentation:

Autodesk Revit MEP User’s Guide (2011), Chapter 17: Electrical Systems – Creating and Editing Panel Schedules:

“The name of the panel schedule view is determined by the Panel Name property of the electrical equipment.”

Revit MEP Electrical Design Training Manual, Module: Electrical Equipment and Panel Schedules:

“Panel Name is used by Revit as the default identifier for any panel schedule view created for that equipment.”

The exhibit shown displays the Type Properties dialog box for a System Family: Floor Plan view type. Within the “Identity Data” group, there are two critical parameters that govern the behavior of new views created from this view type:

“View Template applied to new views”

“New views are dependent on template”

According to Autodesk Revit’s documentation in the Revit MEP User’s Guide (Chapter 48 “Views and View Templates” and Chapter 49 “Preparing Construction Documents”):

“When a view template is assigned to a view type through the Type Properties dialog, any new view created from that view type automatically receives the defined view template. This ensures consistent visibility, graphics, and discipline settings for all new views.”

In this image, the parameter “View Template applied to new views” is set to Electrical Plan, and “New views are dependent on template” is checked. This means that any new floor plan created using this type will automatically have the Electrical Plan template applied, and the view will be dependent on that template, meaning it inherits all its visibility and annotation control settings.

This ensures that all electrical floor plan views generated are standardized and visually consistent, a fundamental practice in Revit Electrical Design workflows, as described in the Smithsonian Facilities Revit Template User’s Guide:

“Assigning a default view template to a view type (e.g., Electrical Plan) ensures every new view created follows organizational and graphical standards without manual setup.”

Option A matches this behavior exactly.

Option B is incorrect** because Revit does not create a new template automatically.

Option C is incorrect** because duplication of an existing view does not reassign templates by type.

Option D is incorrect** because dependent view creation requires a specific “Duplicate as Dependent” command, not this setting.
