Manipulate your Tags

MicroStation V7 - Have you ever noticed that if you do a global scale of a file that contains Tags, the tags don't change? This "feature" of MicroStation V7 can be dealt with by defining a new configuration variable which will enable the transformation of tags with thier base elements. In other words....when this variable is un-defined, the tags will not move, rotate or scale along with the element that they are associated with. But...when it is defined, the tags can be manipulated. To define the variable: Workspace > Configuration > New Variable = MS_TAGTRANSFORMWITHBASEELEMENT New Value = 1 OK
