Hello all;
I was wondering if there’s an extension out there that would give you the opportunity to create both the Component and a corresponding Tag at the same time? I feel like it would save a lot of back and forth if a there was an option in the create Component window to also create and add a Tag.
It is not necessary. You control what tag a component instance will be assigned to, either when placing components from the Components inspector panel or creating components from a selection, by temporarily changing the active tag to the one you want.
This is most easily done using the Tags toolbar aka palette on Mac (not the Tags inspector panel.)
The “rub” is to switch the active tag back to Untagged when done or when ready to draw any new primitive geometry (which should always be assigned to “Untagged”.)
This workflow is really the one of only a couple where the active tag should not remain set to “Untagged”. It is most useful when placing many like component instances into the model assigned to a common tag (such as “Windows”.)
I think there may be a “reminder” extension over at SketchUcation that will remind you to set the active tag back to “Untagged”. @TIG ?
Extensions cannot modify native dialogs windows.
