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.

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!
