- Tip: the Replace command will import tag codes much faster than the Import command. Use the Import command only when appending a relatively small number of tag codes (less than 25k) to a tag action.
- Tip: the Delete All and Replace commands will generate a lot of empty space in the P3 database. We recommend running the Compact and Repair utility after running any of these commands to optimize the database.

How do I determine which tag sessions were modified using the
replace feature?
The Replace
feature can perform a global update of a particular field,
meaning several tag sessions can be updated at once. To find out
which tag sessions were modified, open the tag session manager
and
sort the Modified column by clicking on it (clicking on it multiple
times will toggle the sort in ascending and descending order).
How do I transfer a group of detail records from one tag session to
another?
This will take a few steps:
1. Make a Copy
of the tag session containing the detail records
you want to transfer.
2. Create a Search
that selects the detail records you don’t want
to keep in the copy of the tag session (i.e “Record# is less
than 250’ and ‘Session Name is equal to “Tag Session 2”’)
3. Dot-Out the tag codes for each detail record currently in the
search results using the Replace
feature.
4. Use the Remove Dot-Outs
feature on the copy of the tag
session, this should leave you with just the detail records you
want to transfer.
5. Use the Merge Tag Sessions
utility to merge the remaining
detail records in the modified copy of the tag session to the
destination tag session.
Are the digitizer maps I created in PITTag2 compatible with P3?
No. Digitizer maps must be recreated in P3 using the Digitizer Map
editor to take full advantage of the new features in P3. PITTag2
device drivers are also not compatible with P3.
Why is my digitizer map printing on two pages?
You may need to adjust either the map Height and Width settings
using the Properties command in the Digitizer Map editor
, and/or
the Margin settings in Page Setup window. All of these settings are
in inches. Use the Print Preview command to view the digitizer map
to make sure it will print on a single page.
Why is my digitizer tablet moving the mouse curser?
Digitizer tablets
using the WinTab interface driver will intentionally
act as a mouse device. When a tag session is open the tablet will
stop moving the mouse; P3 will intercept messages from the WinTab
driver and translate the coordinates into map commands
and
lengths
. When the tag session is closed, the tablet will change back
into a mouse device.
