Modify user-defined drawing attribute values

You can modify the user-defined attribute (UDA) values before you create a drawing. The drawing UDAs may vary according to the environment.

The maximum length of the drawing user-defined attribute values is 255 characters.
  1. On the Drawings & reports tab, click Drawing properties and select the drawing type.
  2. Load drawing properties that are as close to the ones you need as possible.
  3. Click User-defined attributes.
  4. On the Workflow tab, enter project-specific information to be displayed in drawings and in the Document manager.
  5. On the Parameters tab, enter a user-defined Comment for drawings, projects, assemblies, parts, and so on.
  6. Use the User field 1 to User field 8 on the Parameters tab to enter drawing-specific information.
  7. On the Title block tab (general arrangement drawings), specify company, project, and drawing information to be used in the title block of the drawing.
  8. General arrangement drawings: Click OK.
  9. Click Save to save the drawing properties, then click OK and create the drawing.
Tip:
  • You can control whether the modifications in user-defined attributes affect all selected drawings in the Document manager at the same time, even if the drawings are of different types by using the advanced option XS_DRAWING_UDAS_MODIFY_ALL_DRAWING_TYPES.
