Optional Symbol Text

[GlueDT92]

I have a symbol where certain instances have a specific block of text associated with it and in some instances it does not have any text associated with it.

I am hoping there is a way to build that text into the symbol and then turn it on for the instances where the text is needed, and leave it off when the text is not.

I know that I can do this using classes, but I am trying to find a way that does not require me to create yet another class in my already huge class list.

Is there any way to make it something along them lines of a checkbox in the OIP? In AutoCAD you can make certain parts of a block turn on or off depending on the instance, and I am hoping there is something like that in VW.

Thanks!

You can link a symbol definition text field to a attached symbol record field. For those symbols you want to show it, you fill the record field with the text.
