Tags combine the features of redlining, viewpoints and comments into a single, easy to use review tool. This

allows you to tag anything you want to identify in the model scene. A viewpoint is automatically created for

you, and you can add a comment and status to the tag.

For example, during a review session, you locate an item in the scene that is incorrectly sized or positioned. You

can tag this item, stating the problem, save your review results as an NWF file, and pass the file to the design

team. The design team can search the file, for any tags of status 'new', and locate your review comments. Once

any necessary modifications are made to the drawing files, these can be reloaded into the *.nwf file, and the tag

status can be changed accordingly. You can review this latest version of the NWF file, ensure all tags have been

resolved and finally 'approve' them.

To add a tag

1 Click Review tab ➤ Tags panel ➤ Add Tag

2 In the Scene View, click the object you want to tag.

3 Click the area where you want the tag label to be located. The tag is now added, and both points are joined

by a leader line.

If the current viewpoint is not already saved, then it will be saved automatically and named “Tag View X”,

where “X” is the tag ID.

4 In the Add Comments dialog box, enter the text to be associated with the tag, set the tag Status from the

drop-down list, and click OK.

Edit Comments and Tags

Once a comment is saved, you can edit it either from the Comments window, or from the source itself. Editing

tags is the same as editing comments.

You can edit content, change status assigned to comments and tags, and delete comments and tags. You can

also renumber tag and comments IDs, if necessary (see

Manage Comment and Tag IDs on page 266).
