Label Editing and Copying

A GLAB or SLAB generated by the autotagging process will be the same as a conventionally created Label except that its SORF attribute (set to Nulref in the ‘manual’ case) will be set to refer back to the controlling TAGR. SORF may be set to Nulref, thus breaking the link between the Label and the TAGR, but it may not be set to point to another TAGR (or to any other value). Having broken the link, a subsequent UPDATE TAGGING command will create another Label on the labelled Design element.

GLABs or SLABs generated by the autotagging process can be edited, but the following safeguards are applied to ensure that the Labels will always comply with the definition set up by the TAGR:

• The DDNM attribute cannot be changed

• The BTEX attribute cannot be changed (GLABs)

• The TMRF attribute cannot be changed (SLABs)

• The Label cannot be INCLUDED in another Layer

• The Label cannot be deleted

If a Label with its SORF attribute set is copied, the new Label will have its SORF attribute set to Nulref.

SORF may be unset by

SORF =0        or

SORF NULREF
