Tagging function

[nghiatm]

I really wish there was a tagging function in this location, currently tagging is very inconvenient with a long list of tags.

You can highlight the desired tag and then use the Tag tool to click on the objects you want to put that tag on. Have you tried that?

@dezmo has an extension Add tag layer by component. I do not think it is in the warehouse. I know it is in the forum. It may help. Hopefully he will pop in with a link to it.

I can’t choose from Entity Info Tag (1) because it’s a lot
Search only works by Tag (2) but it doesn’t put the object in the tag

It is not recursive, i.e. it will not assign th…

You could try the original Put On Layer plugin I mention.

It’s better if you just call it a “quick snippet”, but it can be installed just like the extension…

Plugin: Create a Tag per selected component

Here we are: [tbc] Dezmo_tag_by_comp.rbz (10.4 KB) Create Tag/Layer and associate to selected component instances by it’s definition names. There will be no “main” menu but a toolbar icon and context menu. If you select something and it contains one or more components, you will get a context menu (right mouse click) “Add Tag/Layer to selected comps by def name” The toolbar icon will be enabled with a similar manner. Shortcut can be assigned, considering the above mentioned selection criter…

How about marking my post as the solution in case someone else comes along with the same request?

I think that new forum members can mark a post as the solution. But, a new member may not know the options or protocols in the forum. I went ahead and marked your post as the solution.
