We are using (autocad 2004) drawing properties for
filling out titleblock info using rtext. For example rtext for Job Number in the titleblock is: $(GETPROP, SUBJECT)
I have:(Summary tab)
Title field = Job Name
Subject field = Job Number
Author field = Contractor
Keywords field = Architect
and on Custom tab:
Name: Value:
date (user enters date here)
Rev.1 (user enters date here)
Rev.2 (user enters date here)
Rev.3 (user enters date here)
Rev.4 (user enters date here)
Rev.5 (user enters date here)
drawn_by (initials)
chkd_by (initials)
This works quite well for us.
Here's the questions:
1. Is there a way to change the summary tab info, so that a user sees
"Job Name:" rather than "Title:" etc.
2. Is there a way to 'grey out' the "name" fields in the custom tab.
The way it stands now, if a user changes anything in the name fields, our rtext diesel string won't recognize it.
3. (Most importantly) Are there good reasons why I wouldn't wanna mess with this stuff? These aren't vital changes I need to make, just small ones that will "enhance the user expreience". In the end, I think these questions may be moot in a more current release (not sure) or maybe it'd be best to not use dwgprops but rather an custom app for titleblock info.
TIA for the help.
