There are various different ways to change a marked point's tag. As with all authoring functions, changes can only be made if you have permissions and are working in a work order or standing task.


From the Marked Point Properties Dialog

 

From the Asset View

    1. Display the marked point in the Asset View and make sure the tag is also displayed (see Displaying Marked Points for more information).
    2. Double click on the marked point tag in the Asset View.
      • An edit box will appear which will allow a new tag to be entered, as shown in the screen shots below.
      • Pressing the ENTER key or clicking outside the Tag will accept any changes made to the marked point's tag.
      • Pressing the ESC key will cancel any changes made to the marked point's caption.



Tips:

  • Press CTRL + ENTER for multiple lines  
  • Press ENTER key (accepts tag changes)  
  • Press ESC key (cancels tag changes)

 

 


Changing Marked Point Tag Behavior

Marked point tags can behave in two ways:


Fix to 3-D Position

When a marked point tag is fixed to a 3-D position then the tag moves with the model when navigating.

  • Asset View before navigating


  • Asset View after navigating. The marked point tag has also moved.


 

Fix to Screen Position

When a marked point tag is fixed to a screen position then the tag remains in the same place on the screen when navigating.

  • Asset View before navigating


  • Asset View after navigating. The marked point tag has remained in the same position.



The behavior of a marked point tag can be changed :

From the context menu

  1. Display the marked point in the Asset View
  2. Ensure the marked point is selected and then right-click in either the Asset Explorer or the Asset View.
  3. If the marked point tag is currently fixed to a 3-D position then select Fix to Screen Position from the context menu.

    If the marked point tag is currently fixed to a screen position then select Fix to 3-D Position from the context menu.


The default behavior of a marked point tag can be set in Project Settings.
