avictorgm Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hello again, I have 2 different named symbols every symbol is attached to his own databank with different names. when I replace the symbol both databank stays active in the Information window / Data. And I can write some numbers inside the 2 of them. Can somebody explain this ? Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 It is just how records are attached to symbols. The symbol is not the "object", so if you replace the symbol, the "object" and any records attached are not changed. When a symbol definition has a record attached, and that symbol is inserted into the drawing you get a symbol instance with an instance of the record attached that contains all of the data from the record attached to the symbol definition. The record attached to the symbol is then no linked in any way to the record attached to the symbol definition. So when you insert the first symbol, the instance gets an instance of the first record attached. When you replace the first symbol with the second, you get the second symbol plus an instance of the second recorder attached to the "object". The first record is still attached to the "object" that is having the symbol replaced. So now the "object" has both records attached. Quote Link to comment
