Hi again,
Anyone know how to autolink certain information from the model to the drawing eg. MASS. I'm sure i've seen it before.
thanx, gary
 
Add a blank text box, contextual menu that new text box - attribute link - select info from 3d model

Derek

Derek, sorry, i think you lost me here. When you say blank textbox, is that just the normal text "T" icon? I'm not familiar with the "contextual menu" and "attribute link" commands.
 
ok, i know now how to get the contextual menu and attribute link. next question is, how do i create a formula for the mass, or how do i link the attribute link to the mass in the properties dialog?

regards, gary
 
Sorry about that. That is the normal text "T" box. Pick a spot in space, move cursor over top the text box on the screen (green with 6 corner expansion squares). Use your right mouse button, this will open a small menu (contextual menu). From here - select attribute link. Now Catia is goint to just be idle, go back to the 3d model and pick attribute in 3d you want to link to.

This site does not allow pics to be posted, search attribute link to text in the Interactive Drafting book. It will be under the advanced tasks area.

Regards,
Derek
