Replace Tags with Tags in the Automatic Tag Format

If the automatic tagging facility is in use, the Valve Tag field and the number fields of Pipes, Instruments and Equipment on the Properties Dialogs are automatically completed when an item is labelled.

Existing items that were not automatically tagged may be re-tagged with tags in the automatic tag format using this procedure.

Note: Items that were automatically labelled and then manually changed are not re-labelled by this procedure by default.

For details of the use of this procedure in the context of drawing P&IDs, refer to Automatic Tags.
