You might be in a situation where you want to move some riser nipple tags and want to keep them together, so that they line up nicely. There is a tool to do this with pipe tags and hanger tags, but not with riser nipple tags. Which is where Grips come in. Grips have dozens of uses, but most people only use them for one or two things. Here is how to use them to move multiple items together.
Example – Move three riser nipple tags together
Step 1: Select riser nipple tags. You can do this one at a time or by using any selection method:
Step 2: Hold the SHIFT key down and pick the grip associated with the text of each riser nipple. The grip will turn Red after selection. This i known as a ‘hot‘ grip. Release the SHIFT key after you have selected the three grips:
Step 3: Pick any one of the hot (red) grips. You will notice that all three riser nipple tags move in unison with the one selected:
Step 4: Pick the new placement point. Note in the example that the tag is being moved to the other side of the main:
Step 5: Hit the ESC key to cancel the grips. You are done!
