# Chart3D Smart Tag

## Content



In Visual Studio 2005, the **C1Chart3D** control includes a smart tag. A smart tag represents a short-cut tasks menu that provides the most commonly used properties in each component/command.

The [C1Chart3D](/componentone/api/win/online-chart3d/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.4.8/C1.Win.C1Chart3D.C1Chart3D.html) control provides quick and easy access to the designers and common properties through its smart tag.

To access the **C1Chart3D Tasks** menu, click on the smart tag (![](https://cdn.mescius.io/document-site-files/images/46396fd1-914e-43da-9cb0-e66dcc0ae61b/imagesext/image12_0.png)) in the upper-right corner of the **C1Chart3D** control. This will open the **C1Chart3D Tasks** menu.
