Tag Substitution You can use tag substitution to replace tag names or character strings
in all selected graphic objects on a display. Character strings include
tag placeholders, expressions and parts of strings within expressions.
When replacing tags, you can use an entire tag name, including
folders, or you can replace a string of characters.
You cannot use wildcard characters when searching for or replacing
tag names.
Tag substitution is useful when your graphic displays use a direct
reference tag name or if an HMI Tag name is referenced throughout
your application and needs to be updated.
Follow these steps to substitute a tag or character string.
1. Open the graphic display
you want to update.
2. Press Ctrl-A to select all
objects in the display.
All objects on the display
are highlighted. This
example display is for
illustration purposes only.
3. Select Edit>Tag Substitution.
TIP
You must select all objects or the Tag Substitution dialog will
only show tags of the selected objects.
