Database Tagging and Numbering
| |
You can use this powerful form to provide unique tags for all the objects in your diagrams, via their Object and Instance Tagnames.
With this form in the Classes tab you can automatically set Object Tagnames and Instance 'Real Tag's for the objects in the model. You define the rules for the Object Tags and instance Real Tags for each class of symbol.
Real Tag is used to provide a shorter unique name for an instance than the Hierarchical Tagname.
For example, if you have a number of Units, and each has a number of equipment module child pages containing valves then you can make a Tagname like the examples below by selecting
Root Tag dot ChildTag with Exclusions - result
U1350A.V202
instead of
P1350.U1350A.EQB011.V202
Short Hierarchical Tags - result
RPB18.UPB46.OPB49.PHB_F.pBuffer
instead of
RPB18_BUFFER_P1.UPB46_BUFFER_P1.OPB49_PREPARE_3SS.PHB_FILL_PIPE.pBuffer
Object Tag Rules
The rules set the object tag as follows
Do nothing
The Object tag is not changed
Default ObjectTag
The Object tag is set to the value in Default ObjectTag for the class *
Child page name
The Object tag is set to the name of an objects Child page
Drawing Symbol Tagname
ObjectTag is set to the same as the tag on the diagram
Drawing Tag Stripped of numbers
Drawing tag skipping numbers at the end
Class Name
Uses the class as the object tag. *
Default ObjectTag+Drawing Tag Stripped of numbers
Default Object Tag + Drawing Tag Stripped of numbers
Child Variant Name
The Object tag is set to the value in Default ObjectTag for the class *
One per symbol
The Object tag is set the abbreviated class name followed by the Symbol ID
Child Page Name/Variant Name
Gets the name from the child diagram and it's variant
Note- if this exceeds 32 chrs it will be truncated.
*These settings only result in one object tag for the class
Instance RealTag Rule and External tag Rule
These rules set the Real Tag or the External Tag as follows
No Tag
Tag is set blank
Serial Number
Sequential number
ObjectTag and Serial Number
Sequentially number based on the object Tagname
ParentTag dot PageTag
The Tagname of the parent object Dot the Tagname on the diagram
ParentTag
The name of the Parent object
ParentTag dot PageTag dot Child
The Tagname of the grand parent object Dot parent object Dot Tagname on the diagram
Root Tag dot ChildTag with Exclusions
The Tagname starts with the tag of the lowest Root Class (eg Unit) and includes all the subordinate hierarchy except those where Number Exclude is true
Short Hierarchical Tags
This sets the RealTag to shortened versions of the hierarchical tag. Each part if reduced in length to the length defined in the (new) ShortTagLen in the Class properties
Root Tag dot ChildTag dot Child
The Tagname starts with the tag of the topmost Root Class (eg Unit) and includes all the subordinate hierarchy
Captions hierarchy
sets the RealTag to the Captions version of the hierarchical tag.
TagLetsDotRootNumDotTagNum
Puts the tagname letter part at the begining of the tag and the tagname number after the unit number part of the tag.
A user definable system. each part (the whole page tag) of the full hierarchical tag can be included in full, excluded or parsed into the number part, the string part or a slice of the page tag. And you can change the order of the component parts of a Custom RealTag, so that for example, the Letters of the primary element precede the Unit number.
A user definable system using VB Scripts to get a tag based on each part of the full hierarchical tag
