Hi all,
I am hoping someone can point me to a good resource.
I am working with a drawing that contains various text entities to include text in the drawing format, text in notes, and text in other tables. As I stumble through drawing creation or revisions I notice that these various text entities contain parameter callouts and text formatting code. I understand and appreciate this approach as things like drawing revisions will automatically update if the appropriate parameter is used. Also, for example, being able to put boxes around a portion of text in a note is important for flag notes and such.
I'd like to be able to understand the "code" used to make the most of this capability. Does anyone have a good resource that explains the formatting code and how to use it?
As a specific example here is something that accidentally worked but I can only guess why:
I was having trouble getting the drawing revision to update from "-" to "A" in my drawing format. The table cell properties for the revision showed the parameter "&PROI_REVISION:1" which resulted in "-" in the revision block. After some time playing with this code I changed it to be "&PROI_REVISION:D". I'm not sure why this worked but it did. I suspect that the former was pulling the value of the revision parameter of the part shown in the views and the latter was pulling the value of the rev parameter of the drawing but this is just a guess. I don't like having to guess to get something to look correct. Let me emphasize LOOK CORRECT because even though the rev now shows "A" I'm still not sure if that is truly the drawing revision. I need to be sure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
