I have a 2D file of endless sheet. so need to have a loop ilogic in all sheet

each sheet has the property

name of the colum (iproperty name)

Drawing No. - (Property Fied name of property is DWG No)
No. Sheet No, (find in Sheet properties Sheet number)
Drawing Drescription- (Property Fied name of property is Sheet Description)

this table I have to do it manually and it change a few time during desing.

however I cant use boom list because they are not in a assembly, they are the names of each sheet.

 

thank you

Hi @engineeringSEZWD ,

 

I have created an iLogic rule that creates the table on the first sheet.
It tries to get the model document from the first view on every sheet. Than the 2 user defined iProperties are read.

@cidhelp 

Thank you for all your help. The iLogic rule worked partially.

It successfully created a table with the number of pages, but it didn’t capture the drawing number or the drawing description.

I’ve attached a picture showing where I enter those names.

Currently, I need to go into every sheet, right-click on the field text, and manually edit the property field. So I believe that the illogic need to get those names from same place.  I am not sure that if is already code for that.

 

thank you

@engineeringSEZWD ,

 

I thought that DWG No and Drawing Description are userdefined iProperties from the models.

But they are prompted text fields at your title block?

Can you share a drawingfile to adjust the rule?

@engineeringSEZWD ,

 

I have created a drawing with prompted textboxes in titleblock and changed the rule.

Now it reads the result text from the textboxes.

Thank you, very much @cidhelp 


The sheet description didn’t work because the code used Drawing Description instead of Sheet Description, I change manually here. 

rather than that Worked perfect fine

 

@cidhelp  yeh in general the description comes from 3D file, however this is a civil drawing, so sometimes I have to create a drawing with picutres,, notes, that are not link with 3D model. So for this case we write the description and part number manually on the field text

 

 

many thanks
