add stamp on drawing depending on the state (drawingmanager)
 

Hi,

I'm trying to get a stamp on a drawing only when the drawing is released or archived. I allready made a attribute and a data dictionary (xml file is changed). The field is shown in the drawingmanager but now i have to make some code / rules to check the state of the drainwg in drawingmanager. Depending on the state, a stamp is shown on the drawing.

Can somebody help me with some information how to solve this issue?

(we are working with drawingmanager 2007)

Greetings,

Eric

I'm not familiar with Drafting and DrawingManager. Keywords to point you to might be: 'text references' and 'watermark'.
But don't hit me when I'm wrong! ;)

Hi Eric - TO set the field in Drawing Manager you should probably write a pre-Apply listener that checks the state and sets the appropriate attribute valued. Then how you want the information to appear on the drawing will determine what to do next. If you want it to appear in the titleblock of the drawing then you will probably use Text References to pass the information from Drawing Manager to Drafting and then appear in the titleblock. If you want the information to appear completely across the drawing, then you would need to create a watermark. Drafting would have the information passed to it and write macros to apply the watermark to the drawing. - mgb
