- 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.

Digitizer Maps
Note: A handy mm ruler for your digitizer can be downloaded on P3 ftp site.
Digitizer maps define customizable data entry from a digitizer tablet device
. A
digitizer map contains a grid of cells in a specified number of rows and columns.
Each cell is assigned a specific command, called a map command
, that can input
predefined data into the current detail record
or evoke a tag session command. The
user can adjust the display format and print size of the digitizer map. Once the
design is complete, the user prints the map and places the paper map onto a
digitizer tablet and then aligns
it. The digitizer tablet can now be used as an
additional input device.
To create a new digitizer map, select the Digitizer Maps command located under
the Tools menu. The Digitizer Map manager will be displayed. Click the New button
to create a new digitizer map or press the Open button to open an existing map. Use
the right-click menu to copy, delete or rename an existing digitizer map. Digitizer
maps can be exported
and imported into other P3 installations.
