XS_SECTION_SYMBOL_REFERENCE
Category in Advanced options dialog box: Drawing properties
You can move section views from one drawing to another.
This advanced option defines the reference text for section symbols of the section
views moved to another drawing, and is shown in the drawing where you move the
section view from. You can enter free text, user-defined attributes (%UDA_NAME%,
%USERDEFINED.UDA_NAME%), or template attributes (%ATTRIBUTE_NAME%).
If you enter user-defined attributes or template
attributes, use single % characters around them in the Advanced
options dialog box. %DRAWING_TITLE% is the
default value, and %TITLE% gives the same result. If you use one of these attributes, the
section symbol gets the drawing name entered in the Name
field in the drawing properties dialog box. If you enter %TITLE1%, %TITLE2%, or
%TITLE3%, the section symbol gets the text from the Title 1 - Title
3 fields in the drawing properties. You can also use the format %DR_TITLE1%, %DR_TITLE2%,
and %DR_TITLE3% to do the same.
If you make any changes to the section symbol properties in the drawing where the view was moved from, a Relation update needed message will be displayed in the Changes column of the drawing where the views was moved to. To update the drawing, select it and click Update at the bottom.
Tip:
If you have really long drawing
names and always use certain words in the beginning of the name, you can shorten
the name with the mid function. For more
information about string operations, see String operations in Template Editor.
For more information about moving views to another drawing, see Copy, link, or move drawing views.
This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
