A Tag is a label on the drawing that is used by clients or installers to determine what is on the plan or what is to be installed.

Cap Complete provides several useful tools for tagging Cap symbols:

Append Tag

Append Tag adds text to the end of the selected object's tag. For example, you may want a certain object to be tagged differently from others in order to draw attention to it in the drawing.

  1. Click on the Cap Edit toolbar. You may also use the Office ribbon.

  2. Select the object(s) on the drawing.

  3. Press Enter to confirm your selection.

  4. Type in the text you want added to the tag.

  5. Click OK.
    The text is appended to the tag.

 

New Tag

Use the New Tag command to change an object's tag. For instance, you may want to print out a drawing for a client or an installer, so you will use New Tag to give more meaningful labels to objects on the drawing.

  1. Click on the Cap Edit toolbar. You may also use the Office ribbon.

  2. Select the object(s) on the drawing.



  3. Press Enter to confirm your selection.

Use Move Tag to change a tag's position. You can use this command instead of clicking on the tag's grips.

  1. Click on the Cap Edit toolbar. You may also use the Office ribbon.

  2. Select the object(s) on the drawing.

  3. Press Enter to confirm your selection.

  4. Select the base point of the tag.

  4. Select the base point of the tag.

Show Part Number/Tag
