User Tags

You can add tags to any face or body, and then use the tags to search and locate particular entities.

These User Tags consist of a tag name and an optional tag value. Inventor Fusion also supports Feature Tags. Feature Tags are predefined properties of features such as Fillet Radius or Hole Dia.

Add User Tag

The Add User Tag command sets the tag name and value for the selected entities. The command is located on the Ribbon.

To assign a user tag, click Add User Tag, and use the dialog box to enter the tag. To expand the dialog box, click.

There are two ways to set the tag name and value.

• In Keyword, enter the tag name and value separated by a comma.
• Expand the dialog box, select the tag name in the drop-down menu, and enter the tag value in the field. To enter a new tag name, select New.

Then select the objects or multiple objects to assign the tag to them.

Click OK  to apply the tag. Click Cancel  to terminate the command without applying the tag.

Search User Tags

You can search user tags and predefined feature tags. In the browser, in Favorites, create, and access searches. To create a search, in the browser, in Favorites, My Favorites, use the context menu and select Search Tags.

When you create a search, the search dialog box displays. Enter the tag or feature name and value and then click OK to create the search.
