Title Block Logo Selector


Recommended Posts

I'm updating our template file as we migrate our new projects to VW 2025. We use various logos depending on the project that I'd like to automate in the title block using a custom drop-down field in the Project Data tab. I've also got images for drawing stamps that I'd like to select from a drop-down field in the Sheet Data tab. I don't really like the text-based built-in drawing stamp and would really like to use imported graphics. In the past we'd just duplicated the Title Block Style and modified the different stamps for each style. But of course that adds up when you add another variable of saved logos. 

 

Has anyone had experience linking these data fields to a symbol's visibility? Or maybe a symbol's class? I thought scripting might be the answer, but haven't had much luck with it. I need the solution to be portable with the file too. That way I can share it with my teammates and it just works.

Great advice everyone. I did eventually think of nesting the logos in a placeholder symbol so that it would update everywhere. But now I kind of like the idea of organizing by subclass so I can apply it to a Title Sheet too. We originally had a several copies of Title Block styles, but that made it a real pain to make any changes, so I'm trying to stay away from that.
