    Move tags from one element to another
     
    Here's a great tip from Bentley's "Tag Man" Brien Bastings:

    To move a tag from one element to another, use these keyins found in MicroStation V8.5.

    Keyin change tags dropassoc and select either the tag or the element they are attached to. Note that the tags will change thier display to the tag name rather than the values.

    Then - put the tags into a selection set and issue the keyin change tags reassoc. Identify the other element and the tags will become attached as well as revert the display to the tag values.
