Adding a Project Property Definition to a Property Set Definition
Use this procedure to add a project property definition to a property set
definition. Project property values are obtained from the drawing management
project in which an object is located. Project properties let you collect and
display specific project details in a schedule table, such as:
■ mobile, fax, and telephone numbers of the project principal, manager,
and architect
■ contact information for public services
■ sources for site information
A project property definition is a type of automatic property. The values
displayed are determined by the information previously entered in the project
and cannot be edited directly in the property definition. If, while working in
the project, you modify project details that are included in the property
definition and a schedule, the schedule displays the out-of-date marker. For
more information, see Turning Off the Out-of-Date Marker on page 3714.
In order for a project property definition to return correct project data, a
drawing management project must be currently open, and the drawing
containing the object must be part of that project. Not meeting either of these
conditions has the following consequences:
■ The data on the Extended Data tab of the Properties palette and on similar
dialogs is displayed as “No Project.”
■ Attributes of schedule tags that display project data are not updated.
Attributes display data as updated from the last time the conditions were
met and the drawing was saved. In this case, the data displayed may not
be accurate.
■ Schedule tables that display project data in one or more cells are not
updated. Schedule tables display data as updated from the last time the
conditions were met and the drawing was saved. In this case, the data
displayed may not be accurate.
These conditions allow drawings that contain project data to be viewed and
plotted when drawing management is not available.
