Quick question regarding Mass in Draft 1

[m4rc]

Hi,

Can someone tell me the difference between the following when I need to display the mass of an item in a draft file, which is easy enough, but I've fould all these!

%{Mass|GP}
%{Mass|R1}
%{Mass|G}
%{Mass|[filename.par]}

Many thanks,

M

excerpt from SE's Help:


From Active Document %{Mass}
-----------------------------
Specifies that property values are retrieved from the active file.

Named Reference %{Mass|<file name}
----------------------------------
Specifies that property values are retrieved from the reference file currently
highlighted in Parts.

Index Reference %{Mass|Rx}
--------------------------
Specifies that property values are retrieved from the history-based index of
model files inserted into the drawing. You can see the sequence of inserted
files in Parts.
Index Reference provides access to top-level assembly information.

From Graphic Connection %{Mass|G}
---------------------------------
Specifies that the property values are retrieved from one of the following:
- If the annotation is connected to a part in a subassembly, information is
retrieved from the subassembly.

- If the annotation is connected to a part in a top-level assembly, it
displays information from the part.

From Graphic Connection provides access to top-level assembly information.
In assembly documents, it retrieves property values from the top-level occurrence, whether the occurrence is an assembly or a part file.

From Graphic Connection to Part %{Mass|GP}
------------------------------------------
Specifies that property values are retrieved from the part the
annotation is connected to.

The same applies to other file properties, the GP, G, Rx...
