- 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.

Add/Remove
Columns/Rows
The digitizer map editor allows rows and columns to be
added or removed from point of selection. Removing
rows and columns will remove any associated map
commands, so take care in performing these functions
on existing maps.
Cell
Formatting
Commands
These commands will change the font and color of one or
more selected digitizer cells. To select more than one
digitizer cell, hold the SHIFT key while clicking with the
mouse. The default format for map cells is set in the
Properties settings.
Assigning Map Cells
To assign a command to a map cell, simply double-click the cell and select a map
command. To remove an assigned map command from a cell, select the cell and
press the DELETE key.
Arranging Map Cells
Two contiguous map cells containing the same map command will be merged into
one cell. This feature is limited to merging multiple cells in a single row or a single
column.
An assigned map cell can be easily copied to another map cell by dragging the
selected cell's border with the mouse and dropping it on another cell.
