Update Pipe Tags

Changes to drawings resulting from the Display Label Format project configuration setting beings changed are not automatically implemented when project drawings are loaded. The user must trigger these changes "manually" in each drawing after it has loaded using this procedure.

Note: Split pipe labels cannot be updated using this procedure. The format of split pipe labels is updated using the Update Split Pipe Label Formatting procedure.

Note: As an alternative to the procedure below, if only a single label is to be updated, opening and closing the Properties Dialogs of that pipe will update its label format.
