 +====== ObjectTagger ======
 +> **Summary:** //Object User Tag plug-in for Rhino 4 and 5//
 +
 +\\
 +
 +=====Purpose=====
 +
 +This plug-in lets you attach, detach, search, and view custom tags. It is a very early beta version with a lot of missing functionality and quite probably some serious bugs. Do not use this on important files!
