Select whether to force selected tags to fixed, force selected tags to unfixed,
or switch a tag between being fixed or unfixed.
AutoCAD Electrical changes the attribute of the component to a fixed layer
as defined in the Define Layers dialog box.
Retag components
Retag recalculates each selected primary component tag, and updates the
related components. You can update a single component, a group of
components, a drawing, drawings within your project, or the entire project.
Run Retag Components when something changes on your drawing or project
that affects the component tags. It can include revising the ladder line reference
numbers or changing the tag format. Retag recalculates each selected primary
component tag, and then updates the related components. The Tag format is
set up on the Drawing Properties ➤ Components dialog box.
The introduction of one-line components has added an additional type of
primary component. Within a project you can represent a component with
both a schematic parent symbol and a one-line parent symbol. These are
considered peer components. The retag function uses the following rules when
retagging these peer components:
■ If you retag a schematic parent, the tag value of the one-line parent is
updated to match.
■ If you retag a one-line parent, the tag value of the schematic parent is
updated to match.
■ If you run a project-wide retag, the first one encountered gets retagged and
the peer is updated to match.
■ If you run a project-wide retag and either the schematic parent tag or the
one-line parent tag is fixed, the components are not retagged.
NOTE All one-line components are identified by a WDTYPE “1-” attribute value.
Retag components
Retags single, windowed, drawing wide, and project-wide components with
contact updates.
