"Area" attribute for Iso templates... Why don't you work?

[Anonymous]

I can't seem to find, or get to work in any way, the "Area" attribute for inserting into the ISO template.

Can anyone help with this?

Here is what I know...

1. "Area" key Is does come through into the .pcf file.
2. I have the Attribute key in the .xml (i.e.  <Attribute Key="AREA" Tag="AREA" />  )

Here is what I have tried:

1. looking at all of the categories of the title block attribute dialog box for "AREA"
2. Tried using a Field. In both the "title block" block and  in a created iso. All i get is "#####" in fact all of the current drawing field return that.
3. I even tried adding the field espression to an attribute in the iso.atr file to see if i could get it to show up.

if i path the Field all the way to the to the drawing i am using to test, then the field will work but i cant use that template for any other drawings,...right?

Unfortunately, ISO drawings don't behave like P&ID, 3D MODEL and ORTHO.

Therefore they do not have the drawing properties you seek, especially not custom drawing properties.

The best way is to have an area property as part of your P3D Line Group. So that when you generate the ISO, it can display the area you have entered there

Hello Dear Community,

Is there any news about this topic?

I have seen Rick France (from Hagerman & Company, Inc.) set the Area attribute in a video (https://youtu.be/K2D-ITjtniA?t=35m).

But how did he do it?? Please, explane me.

Thanks in advance.
