Topic: Checklist Box

[MSTG007]

Is there a way per each dwg. to have a check list box...

What I mean is this.

If I have 3 different drawings. With Different steps to complete each drawing. That this vba check list box or what ever would be embeded into the drawing so anyone could see where you left off and what you still have to complete.

What I am seeing

_=Drawing 1
___Border
___Legend
___Turn on Layers
___and Be more Specific


_=Drawing 2
___Border
___Details
___Maps
___More Specific



But the check list would work with the current users drawing which is trying to be completed.

Would this be a wise thing to have? or a waste of time?

You could make a check list box with VBA and make it visible with a button on the toolbar. The data can be stored in the drawing (invisible attributes) or in a separate file.

If it's a note to the next draftsperson, on occasion, I've used notes that are placed on a DONT_PLOT layer.  Put it in MTEXT across the whole drawing in large font if it's really important.  That way, they have NO EXCUSE for "missing it".  Sure, it's cheap and dirty, but it works.

Could be done fairly easy with dictionaries. "Fairly easy" not in the sense of a quickly written project but merely being straightforward coding.

what does the CAD standard in acad do....  would that be something to look at?

So, has anybody taken a stab at this one?  I've been thinking of it for a while, just no time to code.

Ahhh...thank you very much.

If anyone wants to modify this to show 1 check box that retains it's value on exit (just as a sample I can follow for my own use), that would be super!
