Copy Data Tag and callout information to a Record attached to the Data Tag or callout

[Marc Powell]

Hey Folks - I'm assuming that the only answer here it a script of some sort, but here it goes:

 

Issue - I've created a record format that has a few fields that is needed to map to symbols created with another command.  I need to be able to take something like 150 instances of the same data tag/callout, attach a record format to them and then get the information referenced in the data tag/callout into fields in the record format.  Any ideas?

 

Explanation - I'm using Sam Jones' truss tape tool to create truss tapes.  A designer has put data tags where all universes begin on each instrument where it begins (and callouts at the end of each truss for cable breaks) and I want to be able to print those out on the truss tape. To have a symbol or other object translated to the truss tape, it needs a record attached to it.  Whatever information shows up in the symbol on the tape must be in the record.

 

Any suggestions are welcome.

I think you may be able to accomplish this using the Data Manager.
