Update PIO when Title Block is updated

[Juliensv]

Hello All,

 

I have a PIO which pulls data from title block project data as well as the sheet number and sheet title.

 

I'm wondering if there's any way to make the PIO reset whenever I change this data. It is event-enabled.

 

Thanks!

as far as I know, there's no way to have a PIO listen for other plugin changes. if it was 2 of your own plugins you could have 1 reach out and update the other but not with built in VW plugins.

There is code that you would think would work using the AddAssociation function, but it only allows for resetting or deleting your plug-in if the linked object is deleted.  Someday they might add the functionality that you are looking for, but until that day, I recommend putting in a "Refresh" button in the Object Info Palette that forces a reset.

As others have stated, we;re limited with the vectorscript/python implementations provided by vectorworks.

What I have done with other similar plugins, is a menu item that runs a script looking for changes across the document and updating relevant/linked plugins as needed.
