The drawing descriptions are held in the .wdp file. I've reproduced a small
amount of the bottom end here with some comments. Before each drawing name
are the optional descriptions. Three equal signs precede the text. I've
added spaces here between them for clarity but there should be no spaces in
the .wdp file. The order of the liens tell which description it is, DD1,
DD2, or DD3.
=sec1
= =subsec1
= = =Flow and Interconnection diagram, I/O list
= = =Line 2 for drawing 1
= = =Line 3 for drawing 1
demo01.dwg
= = =3-phase motor control, Control circuit
= = =line 2 for drawing 2
= = =line 3 for drawing 2
demo02.dwg
= = =Power supplies, I/O module feeds
demo03.dwg
= = =Control schematic
demo04.dwg
= = =PLC I/O - Inputs - Slot 1
demo05.dwg
= = =PLC I/O - Inputs - Slots 3, 4
demo06.dwg
= = =PLC I/O - Input Slot 5, Output Slot 6
demo07.dwg
= = =Operator Station layout
demo08.dwg
= = =Main Control Panel layout
demo09.dwg
I didn't see any API specifically for this but you could look at the Help
under API section G - Project Management. It looks like some of these API's
weren't updated to include the newer description lines 2 & 3 though. For
example, wd_proj_wdp_write shows (list (list nil sec1 subsec1 dwg1 dwgdesc1
ref)(list nil sec2 subsec2 dwg2 dwgdesc2 ref)...) which doesn't include
support for the lines 2 & 3. I will log this.

I guess what I am looking for
Is there an API call that I can stuff values to these variables
i.e. I have a routine that will read the value on the title block and I want
to put that value into the DD1 DD2 DD3 values for the drawing.
