About Setting Up Label Styles To Be Used as Tags

If a label style supports the use of tags and tables, there are a few unique properties you can manage in the style by changing settings in the Label Style Composer.

• Display Mode. Controls whether the labels are currently displayed as labels or tags. This switches to tag mode automatically when a table is inserted into the drawing using the style-based selection method.
• Table Tag Component. A unique component that is defined on the Layout tab of the Label Style Composer and is required for labels that support tables.
• Label “Used In” Property. Controls whether label style components (such as text or blocks) are used in label mode, tag mode, or both.

A single label style can contain settings for both the label mode and the tag mode. You do not have to have separate label styles set up for tags. However, it may help you manage your drawings (and prevent additional styles from being created automatically) if you set up a style with its default state set to tag mode and give the style an explicit name.
