Title Block Contact name information is connected

Hi All,

 

I'm currently working on a project where we have different trades working. So, when I change my name in the title block (say for the electrical sheet). This reflects on the plumbing sheet. And my name comes on the electrical and plumbing drawing sheets. Does anyone have an idea on how I could break this connectivity on sheet names?

Did you add you name as Text in the Titleblock family?

 

You can add a Label reading a built-in contact parameter (Drawn By, Check By, Design By, Approved By) to the titleblock family.  Now you can enter you name for one titleblock sheet and another name for another titleblock sheet.

Add a Text-type Shared Parameter to the Project Parameters and assign it to "Project Information" category.  Now, edit your Titleblock and add a Label that uses exact same Shared Parameter.

@ahirani24 

 

Contact Name and Contact Number (or similar parameters) are usually shared parameters added in the title block family as labels and in the Model they are added as (shared) Project Parameters to the Category Project Information

 

In such case, the Label will reflect/display its value on all sheets / project wise ...ie: more or less functions like a Type parameter

 

What you need to do is

  • Either Go to Manage >> Project Parameters 
    1. Select the relevant parameter "Contact Name"
    2. Click Modify
    3. Add the  Category Sheets and apply 
  • Or use a new label in the Title Block family with a new shared parameter

The only way your name could be repeated on every Sheet, is if the parameter you are entering your name into is a Type Parameter.  Make it an Instance Parameter and that should remove the "connectivity", as you put it.

Hmph! Sheet and Project Info catagories are only available for share instance parameters. ...

@ahirani24: Post your Titleblock Family so we can see how it is set up?

Okay, maybe I'm misreading the OP.  The thread is entitled "Title Block Contact name information is connected",

but the OP stated "my name comes on the electrical and plumbing drawing sheets. Does anyone have an idea on how I could break this connectivity on sheet names?"  

 

Are we talking Titleblocks or Sheets here?  Your guess is as good as mine.

@barthbradley 

 

maybe this helps you better... the shared parameter need to be added both in TB as well as the Model to Categories

And I believe the SP ahirani24  has been added to Project Info therefore it is populating project wide

Nope. Not at all. Only the OP knows for sure and can answer my questions.   

 

Nice try though.

Yup..I use generic annotation method embedded within titleblock and parametrized it. Once you load into project, you can setup global parameter so the certain trade can have their own name without connecting with yours.
