To publish user-defined property set data to a PDF file, you need to perform
the following high-level steps:
1 Create property set definitions for objects and apply them to an object
or an object style.
For more information, see Property Set Definitions on page 3785.
2 Specify in the PPL file (Published Properties List) which property set
definitions from your drawing should be exported.
For more information, see Creating a New Published Property List (PPL)
on page 278.
3 Publish the drawing to PDF, as described in Publishing to PDF on page
280.
Publishing Property Set Data from External References
Property set data works across external references, and you can publish data
from an external reference to a PDF file. To make sure that data from the
external reference is published correctly, make sure that the following
conditions are met:
â– The data structure of property sets coming from an external reference must
be identical to the structure of any corresponding property sets in the host
drawing. For example, if an external reference has a property set definition
called Doors that reports Height, Width, and Door Number, the host
drawing cannot have a property set definition called Doors that reports
Fire Rating, Leaf Width, and Glass thickness. For more information, see
Property Set Data Structure on page 268.
â– The same property data format must be applied to property set definitions
from external references and corresponding property set definitions in the
host drawing. For example, if an external reference property set definition
called Doors specifies architectural units with 1/4 inch precision, the host
drawing cannot have a property set definition called Doors that specifies
architectural units with 1/16 inch precision. If the property data formats
differ, the format of the host drawing is used for the external reference.
Publishing a PDF File with Automatic Property Set Data
Use this procedure to include automatic property data in your PDF. If you
want to publish sheets from a project, see Publishing Sheet Sets on page 496.
