Attributes default

[Stemdriller]

Hi all

I have just added all my attributes to the main template, but the default for the attributes is four dashed lines ----

so if the attribute has data it puts it in, but if it does not it just uses these dashed lines and I cannot seem to remove them. I don't want to make them invisible and don't particualaly want to have to use code, but I have never come accross this before and I am hoping there is a simple answer to this.

I have attached a screenshot.

Hope someone can help

Regards

Gareth

Populating the Source with %% will result in the Field being Blank (not showing the four dashes).

Nice.

Hi all

Thanks for all your input over this topic.

I managed to sort it by using vb.net in the end. The dashes represent NULL, so initially the dashes are present but managed to code it so 'OnActivate' if property is NULL then changed to " " which got rid of the dashes, if there was data then it simply entered the data.

Job Done

Thanks again

Hi GW,

I realise this is an old post, however I am hoping you can help.

You have nailed the exact problem I am having right now (Updating AutoCAD Properties from Vault.

Is there any chance you could post the VB.net script you used to fix the problem?

Thanks in advance, Matt.
