Creating a Custom Plant Tag
Creating a Custom Plant TagIn addition to providing several predefined plant tags, Vectorworks Landmark allows designers to create custom plant tags.
From the Tag pane of the Plant Tool Preferences dialog box, select Set Custom Tag from one of the Top/Center/Bottom fields.
The Set Custom Tag dialog box opens.The current plant tag’s settings populate the selections; if editing an existing tag through the Object Info palette, the selected tag’s data displays.
Select values from predefined plant record fields in the order they should be listed, and type the delimiter text to place between the fields. Select <New Line> to start the next tag item on a new line. Up to six different combinations of fields, delimiters, and new line separators can be used. Entering a custom tag in the Top field of the Plant Tool Preferences dialog box will insert the custom tag above the reference line, a custom tag in the Center field will replace the reference line, entering a custom tag in the Bottom field will appear below the reference line.
The Tag Appearance field displays a static text preview of the custom tag. To preview a tag in its entirety, click-drag the bottom right corner of the dialog box to resize it.
When using images in the plant tag, edit each plant definition and specify the image to use from the Plant Data pane (see Setting Plant Data Images.) Set the size of the image with the Image Size parameter in the Annotation pane.
Click OK.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other Top / Center / Bottom fields on the Plant Tool Preferences dialog box, as appropriate, to complete creation of the custom tag.
