Hi,
if there is an element with a tag attached, an information about the tag is not displayed in Properties dialog (former Element Information dialog).
As an example, here is the dialolog with a selected line element with tag:
With regards,

Was the tag created in a previous version of MicroStation? Can you attach and example file showing the issue? I have created an element in V8i and attached a tag to it. In the properties dialog it does show the tag as an item type, this is what they are now.

What! Tag elements continue to existing in MicroStation CONNECT. They remain, as far as I can see, the same as in earlier generations of MicroStation V8.
Item Types are new to MicroStation CONNECT, and are a manifestation of meta-data defined in an EC Schema.
If tag elements and Item Types are the same thing, then I have completely misunderstood the latter. Please help!

Hi Paul,
thanks for the confirmation it should work. The testing design file, created in V8i (SELECTseries 3) Update 2, is attached.
This is what I see in MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3) Update 2 ...
... and the same file opened in MicroStation CONNECT Edition, build 10.00.00.25, English version:
But tags are attached and can be edited in CONNECT Edition:
This discussed problem is connected to this my question how to search for elements with tags attached using search functionality in Explorer.

Hi Melissa,
Unknown said:and you have the option in the item types dialog to upgrade your tags to item types.
Such advice is highly theoretical. I am a big fan of Item Types as I like EC technology for many years, but your recommendation is pretty far from reality that is not about "lets start to use Item Types".
I have had many discussion with my customers about CONNECT Edition and how to migrate and a simplified summary, using some assumptions about future release, of these discussion is:
... so tags will be there for many years and if anything doesn't work as in V8i, the answer cannot be "use Item Types".
