View Tags are controlled from the Template Drawing:
A VIEW will only be tagged if it has a LAYER with a PURPose of 'LABA';
If it does, then the tags will go into that layer.
The style of the tag will be cascaded from the owning layer, or taken from a symbol template in the case of component tags.
A typical symbol may look like this:

To control how the components of the HVAC Spool are tagged:
Firstly:
|
A LAYER with PURPose of 'LABA' |
||
|
Must own a TASK element with a SpPurpose of 'TAGDEF' |
||
|
Which owns 4 Task Parameter elements (TKPARA) |
||
|
With FUNCtion equal to 'TEMPLATE', 'OFFSET', 'TPEN' and 'FPEN' |
||
|
And suitable TPVALUEs |
||
Example:
|
LAYER |
||
|
TASK |
||
|
TKPARA |
||
|
FUNC 'TEMPLATE' TKPARA '/MySymbol' |
||
|
TKPARA |
||
|
FUNC 'OFFSET' TKPARA '10 10' |
||
|
TKPARA |
||
|
FUNC 'TPEN' TKPARA '1' |
||
|
TKPARA |
||
|
FUNC 'FPEN' TKPARA '11' |
When tagging views the system will create a Symbolic Label (SLAB) for each component, using the attributes of the above task parameters.
Secondly:
|
A LAYER with PURPose of 'LABA' |
||
|
Must own a TASK element with a SpPurpose of ''ARRLAB' |
||
|
Which owns 6 Task Parameter elements (TKPARA) |
||
|
And specific FUNCtions and suitable TPVALUEs |
||
Example:
|
LAYER |
||
|
TASK |
||
|
TKPARA |
||
|
FUNC 'Top Side' TKPARA 'On' |
||
|
TKPARA |
||
|
FUNC 'Bottom Side' TKPARA 'Off' |
||
|
TKPARA |
||
|
FUNC 'Left Side' TKPARA 'On' |
||
|
TKPARA |
||
|
FUNC 'Right Side TKPARA 'On' |
||
|
TKPARA |
||
|
FUNC 'Margin' TKPARA '5' |
||
|
TKPARA |
||
|
FUNC 'Minimum Gap' TKPARA '1' |
When tagging views the system will now arrange the Label around the view, using the attributes of the above task parameters.
