Advance Steel drawing title block name token mapping.

[Anonymous]

As a new Advance Steel customer we wanted to setup our title blocks on drawing sheets.  We understand and have used the OTB sample.  The issue is that the we must use both the specific block name (HYPERSTEELPAGE HEADER) and token names for block attribute tags.  If there was a cross reference table, I feel it would be very helpful and more flexible for us to use our existing title block of over 40 years.  I also point out that if the title block did have our attributes we could import them into our PLM system and use the title blocks information to automatically complete the metadata for the PLM system.

Thank you for adding list of tokens.   My point,  however,  was to have some kind of a cross reference table that Advance Steel could have our block name and our attributes tags referenced to theirs.   This reference table could then help make the connection with all the title block features available.   The idea of hard coding block name and attribute tags does limit the flexibility.

Unfortunately, this idea could not be included on our road map and as such we will not be pursuing it in the near future.

Thank you for your understanding.
