Configuring alternate tag names

By default, each block/cell only represents one tag type in the vault and that type has a specific naming standard. If your blocks/cells can represent multiple tag types (each with a different naming standard) and the tag type is specified in a document property, you can specify which naming standard should be used depending on the value of the document property.

To configure alternate tag names:

1. In the TagExtraction section described in Configuring the AutoCAD link, create settings using the descriptions in the following table.

CaseProperty=<PropertySetName.PropertyName>

CaseProperty=Custom.UnitType

CaseValues=Chemical,Electrical,Mechanical

2. In the TAGBLOCK section described in Configuring the AutoCAD link for each block/cell that represents multiple tag types, add a setting for each value listed in CaseValues and specify the corresponding naming standard. The naming standard can be specified similar to the one described in Combining multiple attribute tags. Any property values not listed here or documents for which the property specified for CaseProperty is empty will receive the default tag name.

Following is an example of one complete TAGBLOCK section configured for alternate tag names:

[TAGBLOCK_BLOCK1]
TagProperty=TAG_NO
TagType=Equipment
Chemical=[PROCESS]-[FLUID]-[NUMBER]
Electrical=[NUMBER]

In this example for a block named BLOCK1, all tag names are linked to the tag type Equipment (the default for the block). Tags related to documents for which the UnitType property contains Chemical are named with the PROCESS, FLUID, and NUMBER attributes/tags. Tags related to documents for which the UnitType property contains Electrical are named with only the NUMBER attribute/tag. Tags related to documents for which the UnitType property contains any other value are named with the TAG_NO attribute/tag.
