Tag names
You can use tag names that you have already added to the tag database
or you can use a new tag name.
Tag placeholders
Tag placeholders allow you to create displays that can be used with
different tags. A placeholder is a cross–hatch character (#) followed by
a number between 1 and 500. Tag names are substituted for
placeholders when the display is run. Folder names can also be
substituted for part of the tag name. For example,
#1\#2\MotorValve. This allows the same animation to be added to
multiple objects where only the folder name is different.
When setting up object keys, you can specify the [Tag] parameter as a
placeholder for a tag name or any character string. The [Tag]
parameter is used for object keys only. For more information on this
parameter, see “Using the Current [Tag] parameter” on page 12-48.
Using commands and macros
Some types of animation, such as touch animation, require you to
specify an action. The action is an RSView32 command or a macro.
The command or macro you use depends on what type of action you
want. For example, if you want the action to open another graphic
display, use the Display command.
This chapter does not provide detailed information on using
RSView32 commands or macros. For a complete list of commands
and command syntax, see Appendix A, RSView32 commands, or see
Help.
For details about macros, see “Creating macros” on page 15-7.
