Drawing Number
The drawing number together with the revision/version number will be considered as unique. If the number of a drawing that already exists in the system is entered, a warning will be provided. If the revision number is changed to a different one, the warning will go away and the entry will be treated as a new revision or version of the drawing that already exists in the system.

Tag
A tag can be described as a set of drawings that make up an object e.g. a pipe spool, pressure vessel, a process skid or a structural member or in other words, a deliverable.
A tag can be used for grouping a set of drawings and thereby welds contained within those drawings for the benefit of creating work packs, test requests or recording dimensions on drawings.
A drawing can be in more than one tag. If you are fabricating more than one item from a drawing, for example 5 air receivers that are identical from 1 drawing supplied, you need to create 5 tags first and add all the 5 tags to this drawing. Tags can be created from the "Tags" menu or when you add a drawing
Line Number, Class
You will have to enter the line number, class, equipment number and also select the NDE settings in a tag. The tag's settings will be automatically applied to the drawing
