Using the Tag Group Editor

The Tag Group Editor (TagGroupEditor.exe) is a simple spreadsheet interface that allows you to develop multiple tag group files and apply them to one picture. The tags can reside in different databases.

You enter data into the Tag Group Editor spreadsheet to associate symbols with substitutions. You then save the data in a tag group file, with the extension TGD. When a picture opens, or when a new picture replaces the current picture, iFIX reads the tag group file and replaces the symbols with the corresponding substitutions, as defined in the tag group file.

NOTE: The Recipe Builder requires the .TGE file format when using tag group files. As such, the Recipe Builder uses the FIX32 Tag Group Editor (TGE.EXE).  The iFIX Tag Group Editor (TagGroupEditor.exe) is used for creating tag groups in iFIX pictures in .TGD file format. The Recipe Builder cannot use these newer .TGD files.
