Question: Is there a UDA attribute that I can use, which will allow me to quickly add Field stud information to part marks on a GA drawing so that the number of studs will show up?

Answer: The UDA marks for virtual (or Field) studs are as follow:

USERDEFINED.SHEARSTUDS = Number of Field studs
USERDEFINED.size_STUD1 = Field Stud size

For the rest of the attributes, see the image below. Follow the same names (case sensitive) preceded by USERDEFINED.

You could add all those values to any mark with the corresponding UDA content, and then add text for special characters as shown below.

Additionally, you can use the Virtual_Field_Studs preset/ attribute that is saved for Mark properties.
