Drawing templates and attributes
Drawing templates and attributes
(OP)
I have a problem with drawing templates and the attributes. The templates were created like this:
1. attrbiutes are defined in file properties.
2. some attributes will be placed on a drawing, when the PLM Proccess will go through
3. attributes are placed on a drawing with Note command. Only the attribute parameter was written. It looks something like this: <WRef1*0@test>
4. when the attribute is placed on the drawing, you can not see this attribute. It has no value, yet.
5. only when the value is entered for the attribute, you can see this attribute on the drawing.
Now, how can I select those attributes on the drawing template to change their style?
If I don't see them, I can not select them.
The interesting thing is also this. If the attrbiute has its name (right click on a note, select properties and enter the name in General tab), then I can get the information about this note (information/objcet/search by name filter).
But this name filter doesn't work in Style, Edit Display, Move to Layer, etc.

I'm not sure which version this started, but it works in 8.5. I created a Attribute Template (File, Utilities, Attribute Templates) with all of these, so I can add them, as needed to files.
