Phil hunt Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 when creating a symbol, and giving it a name....say 150 watt spotlight can i when placing the symbol on the drawing bring the description of the symbol into the drawing so it sits alongside the spotlight symbol.....whats the best way so the client can clearly see whats on the drawing file..... any advice would be appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment
ChadL Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 If I understand correctly, I think what you want to do is edit the 2d component of the symbol and put your text there. I would create a new class for this text so that you can turn it off when you don't want it. Quote Link to comment
Phil hunt Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 yeah thats a good idea chad......i'll give that a try cheers Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 There's some way to list the symbols and insert their pictures into a worksheet. You would create a record of the symbol that you can enter your information into. So column one would be the picture, column two is the name, column 3 is the description. I think that would be the proper way to do it. But I'm not super savvy in worksheet. Someone around here is though... Quote Link to comment
Phil hunt Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 i've just tried it with creating a report with symbols expecting when i add more symbols it lists it on the worksheet with quantities doing something wrong will have to read up on this one could be good for my work so worth investing some time and effort thanks for the info grant Quote Link to comment
grant_PD Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The worksheet functionality is very weird IMO. But I think that's the way you want to go. Quote Link to comment
