Introduction

This command allows users to 'tag' objects in the drawing for display on the Cross Section Plots.  Tagged objects can consist of any collection of lines, arcs, polylines, circles or ellipses and are named by the designer.  These 'tag' names can be included in the Cross Section Plots output.

This command provides great flexibility in establishing offset sampling, block assignment and labelling/annotation of any features from the drawing, where they cross the sections.
