Tagging Parameters

You set tags on a parameter by choosing the Tags command from an explorer context menu. Tags are similar to marked parameters except that you can use tags to flag a parameter for further processing by a script or custom command. As well, tags are saved with the scene, unlike marked parameters.

Tags are easy to query and organize using a method to get the tagged parameters on an object. Keying, plotting, storing, transferring to other programs, etc. are all processes that can be done to a list of tagged parameters through scripting.

You can set one tag on a parameter or up to 10 tags named Tag1, Tag2, etc.

To tag a parameter

Open an explorer and set its scope to view All Nodes so that parameters are displayed.
Right-click the parameter that you want to tag.
From the context menu, choose Tag Tagn.

When a parameter is tagged, the word (Tagged -n) is displayed beside the node name in the explorer. Where n represents the tag ID number.

TipYou can also tag a parameter by right-clicking its animation icon in the explorer or a property page and choosing Tag Tagn.

To add another tag to a parameter

Right-click the parameter and choose Tags and select the next tag channel available. The tag ID number is appended to the name (Tagged - n n).
