prompted entry

[GosponZ]

I'm working with multi sheets. Would it be possible to make prompted entry for some text but only when inserting first sheet. When inserting another sheet just not to appear prompt.

could you send the dwg template?

Sorry, I can't

Sounds like a difficult task to achieve. Is it necessary to have prompted entry in the drawing at all? Is this utilizing a legacy template or is this a concept your looking to implement from scratch?  It would be easier to just populate the first sheet text boxes by a rule directly. Otherwise you would have to give the prompted entry blank values for all sheets added by code after the first. Which kinda rules out manually adding them as a the prompted entry will appear and might confuse users.  

Another method would be to have a seperate template with promted entry specifically for sheet one. 

If you attach a blank template file with no confidential information and also some screen shots of the task your looking to achieve you will likely get a solution that will work.

Thank you for response. It was just idea not must. Some people forget to input in title block some information which is pain when copy design and left wrong information. Maybe some code would work.

Any idea?

Is it possible to show what object you currently input the information to? Please share with an image the location.

Hi,

information should go to TB like custom properties, client, location, description.

Thank you

If you want to use custom iproperty this will be on a per document basis. If you want only the first sheet to have these properties you will then need a seperate titleblock to hold this information. Enter the custom iproperty formatted text to sheet 1 titleblock. Create an external form and put the custom iprop into the form and name it "Drawing iProp Check"(Optional)

Put this code on the Save event trigger. 

If iProperties.Value("Custom", "client") = "" Then
    MessageBox.Show("Client iprop is missing","iProp Check")
   iLogicForm.ShowGobal("Drawing iProp Check")
End If

Ok thanks

You could also place the information as just text or iproperty reference on the sheet but not in the title block by simply adding a text box or a sketch symbol over the titleblock or beside it.  This way you can avoid a separate title block. You could place the symbol by code for first sheet only. My preference would be to have the iproperties appear in the title block on all sheets and not just the first page.

Well i think i didn't explain good. I would like to insert information before anything is done with drawing. So, if form pop up first to enter information for title block and after is done continue with drawing. I would just make multi sheets without again to form show. Just one time and information will be in each sheet.
