Configuring multiple tags in one block or cell

By default, only one attribute/tag value is extracted from each block/cell and matched to an tag name in the vault. If your blocks/cells contain multiple tag names in multiple attribute/tag values within the same block, you can map each attribute/tag to a specific tag type.

To configure multiple tags in one block or cell:

1. In the TAGBLOCK section described in Configuring the AutoCAD link for each block/cell that contains multiple equipment tags, add a TagFields setting. This setting is a comma-separated list of attribute/tag names in the block/cell that each contain values to be extracted.

2. For each attribute/tag name specified for TagFields, create a section using this syntax:

   [TAGFIELD_<BlockName>:<TagName>]

   Where <BlockName> is the block name and <TagName> is the attribute/tag name.

3. In each TAGFIELD section, create a TagProperty setting that specifies the tag name.
4. Also in each each TAGFIELD section, create a TagType setting that specifies the corresponding object type to associate with tag name.

Following is an example of one complete TAGBLOCK section for multiple attributes/tags:

[TAGBLOCK_BLOCK1]
TagFields=ATTR1,ATTR2,ATTR3

[TAGFIELD_BLOCK1:ATTR1]
TagProperty=ATTR1
TagType=Equipment

[TAGFIELD_BLOCK1:ATTR2]
TagProperty=ATTR2
TagType=Line

[TAGFIELD_BLOCK1:ATTR3]
TagProperty=ATTR3
TagType=Other

In this example for a block/cell named BLOCK1, the equipment number in the attribute/tag ATTR1 is linked to the tag type Equipment. The equipment number in the attribute/tag ATTR2 is linked to the tag type Line. And the equipment number in the attribute/tag ATTR3 is linked to the tag type Other.
