I frequently find myself copying several tag descriptions from one RS Logix 5000 program to another, or even within a single program (e.g., array element descriptions). It would be really nice to be able to select multiple, contiguous tag descriptions, do CTRL-C copy, switch to another open program, click on the first destination tag description, and CTRL-V to paste all of the copied descriptions. In other words, like copying and pasting a group of cells between MS-Excel spreadsheets.
Using the standard Controller or Program Tag window, there seems to be no way of selecting multiple tag descriptions like this. About the only thing to do is cut-and-paste descriptions one-by-one.
Aside from doing a tag database export-edit-import, is there any other convenient way to copy multiple tag descriptions between Logix 5000 (V2x.xx) programs? Is there some tag view I am missing that allows this? The one-by-one is pretty tedious beyond 10 or so tags, and then becomes error prone with alignment.
