Exclude referenced tags from scanning when object is invisible
Select this check box to take invisible objects' associated tags off scan, except for the visibility expression. By default, this check box is selected in new applications created in version 14.00 or later. For those objects to remain invisible on the display and their tags on scan, we recommend that you set the objects' position to a negative value so that they are outside of the display frame or configure their appearance so that they appear transparent.
After you upgrade version 13.00 or earlier to the latest version, your existing project's tags of invisible objects remain on scan.
