LandmarkCreating a custom plant tag

In addition to providing several predefined plant tags, designers can create custom plant tags.

From the plant settings Tag pane, 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 inserts the custom tag above the reference line, a custom tag in the Center field replaces the reference line, a custom tag in the Bottom field appears 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 style and specify the image to use from the More Data pane (see Setting plant data images). Set the size of the image with the Image Size parameter in the Tag pane.

Click OK.

Repeat for the other Top/Center/Bottom fields in the plant settings, as appropriate, to complete creation of the custom tag.
