E3D Draw: SLAB UDAs

 

 

please help

As far as i know, the only attribute that works is ATEX.
But since it is a text attribute, it can contain up to 120 characters.
So, if I well understood your needings, you could think about writing many texts you need, separated by a special character (i.e. _ ).
For example: ATEX 'Hello_Good Morning_Bye Bye'
Then your SLAB template could be made of three (or more) different TEXP primitives reporting their own sub-string of text.
For example: BTEX '#ATEX(P_:2)' or BTEX '#ATEX(P_2:3) etc etc.

thanks corrado for the suggestion
I shall investigate your idea and let you know how it goes
do you know whether Aveva is pursuing multiple user specified strings for SLABS? or is it not possible?

 

Hello, ATANCAD!
[QUOTE=ATANCAD;89857]Hi All,

I just noticed that a SLAB has a bunch of UDAs which I have highlighted in the screenshot:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]7918[/ATTACH]
what are they used for?
I was hoping they worked like ATEX where the user can input custom text for the SLAB....

The UDAs Btex... Jtex are used for label creation in application Isometric ADP (Automated Drawing Production of Isometric drawings of HVAC and Cableway). These attributes are entered by the administrator in the Lexicon module using special macros (when configuring Isometric ADP). The values of these attributes are not filled in manually by the user.

To display several lines in the label you can use your own UDAs in configuration of SYTM (template) to display the data line by line.

i see i see thanks for that
UDA's to my knowledge cannot be utilised in SLABs so I thought maybe those ADP UDAs were actually an E3D feature

For example, SYTM can contain two TEXTs. The attribute BTEX of TEXT 1 contains value '#:uda1Name', and the attribute BTEX of TEXT 2 contain value '#:uda2Name'. In this case, the UDAs (in the element) can be filled by different users, but SYMB will be one[/COLOR][/COLOR]
