## Tag Properties

All coordinate axes will behave according to the world coordinate system.

### Position

Parameter ID: `PROTECTION_P`

### Scale

Parameter ID: `PROTECTION_S`

### Rotation

Parameter ID: `PROTECTION_R`

Here you can protect or restrict Position, Size and Rotation.

None

The tag's function for a given parameter will be turned off.

Lock

This tag sets the respective parameter.

Limit

This tag limits the settings to the defined Min and Max settings

X,Y,Z, Min, Max

Use these options and values to define precisely if and for which axis objects can be modified. The **Min** and **Max** values define the range within which objects can move, rotate or be scaled.

### Allow Expressions

Parameter ID: `PROTECTION_ALLOW_EXPRESSIONS`

Enabling this option lets expressions/tags (e.g., XPresso, Rigid Body tags (Dynamics), etc., as well as keyframe animations) be executed with a higher priority than the Protection tag.

### Allow Viewport Duplication

Parameter ID: `PROTECTION_ALLOW_DUPLICATION`

When in Use Object or Use Model mode, objects can be duplicated by `Cmd/Ctrl`+clicking on them. This can be prevented by enabling this option in the **Protection** tag. This option applies only to objects that are selected (a Child object whose **Allow Viewport Duplication** option is disabled will nevertheless be duplicated if its Parent object has this option enabled).
