Command Overview

A tag string tags specific points to be joined when wireframing strings. This command is used to convert an existing string to a tag string.

A tag string controls how strings are linked together to form wireframes, say, when using the link-strings ("ls") and other string linking commands.

Tip: Whilst digitizing, you can complete the digitizing operation by double-clicking or double-tapping the final string vertex position. You can also complete the digitizing operation by closing the string.

See Wireframe Tag Strings.

Command steps:

  1. Digitize a new string in any 3D window, for example, using new-string, or load string data.

  2. Run the command.

  3. Select the string to become a tag string.
