carefulsmelly Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I've been trying to use the notes database for all my NBS Specifications, which on the face of it seemed ok. However, when it comes to updating the database things become rather tortuous in that there is no way for all the notes to update automatically - which was the main reason for going down this route. In short, can VW 'link' to an external text based file and auto update when a drawing is opened? Quote Link to comment
carefulsmelly Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Does anyone use the notes database? Quote Link to comment
Bob Holtzmann Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I use it for detail notes -- it can handle callouts that are repeated throughout the drawings. Quote Link to comment
carefulsmelly Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Bob H, How do you update any changes to the notes? The reconcile tool only flags up differences, it doesn't auto update. Quote Link to comment
Bob Holtzmann Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I usually change text strings in callouts with the Find/Replace Text command. The Notes Database is its own entity to me, separate from drawing document, and for reference use only. Quote Link to comment
