butthetagslotwilldisplayonly15characters.

Time—Letsyouchangethetimewherethetagis

assigned.

Lock Tim e—Locks the tag to the current frame,

regardless of subsequent scaling of time. For

example, with Lo ck Time off, if you have a tag

namedFortyatframe40,andyouscaletimeup

200 percent, the Forty tag will be at frame 80. If

Lock Time is on, the For ty tag remains at frame 40.

Relative To—Lets you assign another tag to which

the current tag will maintain a relative offset. For

example, if you have a tag at frame 10 called First

and you create a second tag at frame 30 cal led

Second, if you move the position of First to frame

25, Second will be moved to frame 45 to maintain

the 20-frame offset between the two tags.

This is a one-way offset. If you changed the time

position of the second tag in the previous example,

the first tag is not affected. In addition, circular

dependencies are not allowed. You can’t have First

relativetoSecondandSecondrelativetoFirst.

Delete Tag—Deletes the selected tag.
