Tag Element Types in SVG Files

You can specify how the tag ID of an element type must appear in the SVG file through the SVG tab in the Element Type Mappings page. The tag ID for the element type is retrieved from the mapping specified here and the same is displayed on the SVG file when the element type is selected.

Note: Tagging is supported only for those element types that can be selected in the SVG file. Accordingly, the settings in the SVG tab are applicable to only those element types.

To map the tag ID of an element type:

1. On the Element Type Mappings page, select the required element type from the Current Element Type list.

2. On the SVG tab, do one of the following:

   

   • If you want to specify the mapping value for the tag ID directly, select the Constant option and enter a value in the Text box. The specified value is used as the tag ID of the element type.

     Note: You can add the value to the list by clicking the Add icon. Click the Delete icon to delete the selected value from the list. When you delete a value from the list, the mapping for the tag ID is also deleted.

   • If you want to derive the tag ID from the value of an attribute, select the From Attribute option and select an attribute from the Attribute name list. The attribute value is used as the tag ID for the element type.

   • If you want to derive the tag ID from a PML expression, select the From PML option and enter a PML expression in the PML Expression box. The result of the PML expression is is used as the tag ID for the element type.

     Important: The mapping will be lost if you move from one option to another. Therefore, before you move to the next page, make sure that all the element types you have selected have the required mapping for tag ID. The tag IDs for the element types without a mapping are not displayed in the SVG file.
