AutoCAD Architecture :: Manual Property Set Definitions In Dwfx?

Jan 12, 2009

I have created a new property set definition and added two manual property definitions and applied this to all objects. Every object on the drawings has distinct values for these two properties. These property values show correctly on the Extended Data tab of the Properties palette.

I have published to DWFX with AEC property set data set to 'Include'. In the resulting DWFX in Autodesk Design Review I can select each object and see the standard properties but not my special property set data.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Dynamic Link Between Property Set Definitions And Excel

Nov 12, 2013

Any way to create a dynamic link between the property set attached to a space and excel?

I have a lots of spaces that has a property set attached, some of this property changes often. So if it was possible to create a excel sheet that presents each property for each space and then I could change the property in excel and put it back to Architecture it would save me a lot of time.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Custom Property Set Definitions To Add Information To Spaces

Dec 13, 2013

I am using some custom property set definitions to add information to spaces.  However as I insert spaces I find that I have to go to the extra step to add the property set to the object using the Extended Data tab in the Properties Palette. 

It is not a huge deal but sometimes it is forgotten and schedules are not reporting properly, or the display theme is not correct.  Although there are tools to quickly add them I would like to know if there is an automatic way to add them while creating the spaces/zones.

On a related note.  There is a property set definition that is in each file by default called RoomFinishObjects.  Is there a way to purge this?  I don't want to attach finishes to my objects.  But it seems to be embedded in the file.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Distance Of Sprout On Location Property Definitions

Sep 17, 2010

Is there a way to preset the reach of the sprout on Location Property Definitions in Property Sets?

For example, I have upper cabinets that aren't over a Space, because there isn't flooring underneath them. Because of this, the sprout reports "Space Not Found" in the cabinet schedule, and I have to go in and manually pull each sprout out until it latches onto a Space.

I would like to set all sprouts to automatically reach out 2'6" from their insertions point.

AutoCAD :: Filtering Property Set Definitions In Tables?

Aug 14, 2012

On my Property Set Definitions I have a attribute table called "ROOM_NO". This is where I enter the full number/character of the room, in my case the value usually looks like "101A", and sometimes "A101B" for Room number.

I was asked to do another table to separate the fields.

ROOM_PREFIX  ROOM_NUM.     ROOM_SUFFIX.

Separating the room number in 3 attribute tables to "A 101 B"

I was thinking referencing the ROOM_NO table in each box and filtering out the numbers and character. For example in ROOM_PREFIX I would reference ROOM_NO and filter out the number and the suffix letter through a formula. And in ROOM_NUM I would Filter both alphabetical character.

how to write such formula?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Modify Sheet Set Custom Property Definitions

May 3, 2012

I FINALLY decided to get my head around the Sheet Set Manager (kudos to Kate Morrical's video series).

I understand the need to create custom properties, and I can see that you can either "add" or "delete" custom properties, but is there any way to CHANGE the property after it's been defined?

For example, if I create a custom property complete with a default value, but discover later that I made a spelling mistake (eg. "Darwn By" instead of "Drawn By"), is there any way to MODIFY it?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Change Material Definitions To CTB Format?

Oct 18, 2013

Is there a way to change the material definitions to CTB format in the plot style under the material style?  See attached image.

I have a client that wants everything in CTB format and in AutoCAD Architecture.  I can get the drawings into CTB but the materials plot way too heavy and when I go in the styles they show Full Saturation or Wide, Thin from the STB plot styles.

The Drawing is in CTB and I am pulling my hair out trying to get the couple materials used set to Color based plotting.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Roof Elevation Property

Feb 8, 2008

what the roof elevation property relates to and why? Actually, I know that it is the initial insertion point of the roof baseline, but why doesn't it update with grip edited changes in the elevation of the baseline? See the attached file. The three x-lines converge on 0,0,0. The roof elevation is stated as 0. Obviously that property is meaningless. Considering the importance of roof elevations and making them meaningful, you'd think there would be some rhyme or reason to that property.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Displaying Property Set Data In A Drawing

Jul 25, 2013

Is there a way to display and control the visibility of property set data next to a tag or object in model space?

For example, imagine a floor plan such as a large hotel with a lot of doors.  It would be nice to be able to look at the plan and see which doors have had their property sets filled out and which ones have not; and, it would be great if the visibility of the property set data could be toggled on and off so as not to clutter up the drawing when not needed.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Display Property In Live Section?

Apr 13, 2012

I've created a Live Section Cut. I want to change the hatching in the wall sections. I looked at the Display Property of the Wall Style, but the Model Display is bold, not the Section Display. The Section display has options for Hatching, etc., but the Model Display does not...Do I need to edit the Material assigned to that wall?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Schedule Tag With Multiple Property Sets

Mar 16, 2012

I've got a multi-family building where I'm trying to create a schedule tag that will number walls sequentially in a view drawing. The units are elements that are then brought into a construct and mirrored and rotated as needed.

The first thing I did was to create a Property Set  that uses Level and Manual property set that automatically increments to create a property called Unit Number. Then created a tag that will number the units in my building i.e. : 201 202 etc.  This works fine.

I then created a Property Set to apply to the walls that uses the Unit Number from the other Property Set along with a Manual Property Set that increments as well to create a wall tag.  What I am expecting to get is 201-01, 201-02 etc.  What I’m getting is ?-01, ?-02 etc.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Retrieving Value In Property Definition Location

Aug 18, 2011

I am working on extracting information from DWG with extended Property Set Definitions. I have added Location Property on my Door objects, and would like to retrieve it in my application.

Definition as shown in AutoCAD > Manage > Style Manager > Property Set Definitions

DoorObjects Property Set
Name: AtSpaceID
Description: Space - SpaceObjects - SpaceID
Type: Location (becomes Automatic inside .NET API code)
Source: Space - SpaceObjects - SpaceID
Space Objects Property Set
Name: SpaceID
Description: SpaceID
Type: Integer

I have tried the .NET API. see Code below. I am stuck at Property Definition Location. Not too sure where I can retrieve the value for my At Space ID at my Door Objects.

I tried the following code below and it throws error such as eInvalid Input or eNot Applicable.

Part of my code
 
Door doorEntity = trans.GetObject(doorObjID, OpenMode.ForRead) as Door;ObjectIdCollection idsPropSet = PropertyDataServices.GetPropertySets(doorEntity);foreach (ObjectId idPropSet in idsPropSet){ PropertySet propSet = trans.GetObject(idPropSet, OpenMode.ForRead) as PropertySet; PropertySetDefinition propSetDef =

AutoCAD Architecture :: Update Property Set Definition Programmatically

Apr 18, 2012

A way to update a property set definition programmatically?

Or via a tool palette tool.... I see there is with schedules for instance a right-click option to import a schedule style to update it... but I can't find a way to do this with property set definitions.

This would be in AutoCAD Arch (or MEP) 2012 or 2013.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Property Set Definition If A Number Equals Text?

I having problems trying to resolve a formula in the property definitions. I have a field that has USAGENO 060, 050 that the user inputs. But I would like to auto populate another field ROOMNAME with its corresponding text, to reduce input and avoid user error. The number always equals a room name as shown below.

060=Office
050=Lobby

I tried on the ROOMNAME field this but its not working. My field is set to formula.

=IF[USAGENO]=060,"Office",IF[USAGENO]=050,"Lobby"))

AutoCAD Architecture :: Property Data Sets In Wrong Units

Sep 2, 2013

I am using Autocad Architecture 2013 and I am having an issue with Property Set Data. Whenever I create door or window tags, the Property Set Data is in the wrong units.

I have two separate projects, on in Imperial units and another in Metric. When I add a new door/window tag, the units for that particular door or window are incorrect. The drawings are setup in the proper units, the dimensions are as well. But when I create these tags and subsequently the schedules for them, they are in the wrong units. The tags/schedules for the metric project are in feet and inches and the tags/schedules for the imperial project are in millimeters.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Updating Property In Objects Definition In XREF DWGs

Aug 11, 2011

I am developing an simulation application, leveraging on using Space objects and applied additional Property Set Definitions for Space objects where I introduced a new Property "Value".

I applied a display theme to my DWG, and based on the value of the Property, different colors will be displayed according to the display theme.

For a single DWG file containing the building, I am able to simulate the color changes by updating the “Value” Property in the Spaces using .NET APIs functions such as PropertySet.SetAt, and committing the transaction. 

However, one building can consist of many different levels, and I have split up the modeling of the building into its separate levels. For example, a 3 storey building, I will have 3 DWG files for each individual levels.

A main empty DWG was then used to XREF the 3 levels, to combine the different levels into a whole building. I would like to simulate such colour change through the main DWG which references my individual level DWGs.

what .NET API I can use to access the XREF DWGs in my main DWG, so that I can update the "Value" property in all my Space objects?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Create Property Definition That Will Display The Elevation Of Space Object

Dec 18, 2012

I am trying to create a property definition that will display the elevation of a space object.  I looked through the automatic properties and did not find anything that looked like the elevation.

I have tried the following but was unable to achieve any success.

RESULT="--"
On Error Resume Next
Set AcadApp = GetObject(, "AutoCAD.Application")
Set Obj = AcadApp.Activedocument.Objectidtoobject("[ObjectID]")
RESULT = Obj.elevation

That formula does work if i swap elevation with say height, width,length or any of the properties found in the automatic property list that are a single word.  I know the elevation is there I just don't know how to access it.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Division ID Project Property Parameter Showing As NA In Door Style

Sep 8, 2011

I have been successfully able (after reading through the Users Manual) to create a new door style and a new property set definition applied to that door style. I was able to insert the new door style in a drawing and the Extended Data tab on the Properties pallet on the right side of the screen showed all the propwer data, except for one field.

 I used two parameters from the Project Properies Definitions in my "custom" property set but only one of them (Number) seems to be working as expected to contain my Project ID Number within my door style.  The Division ID parameter, however, does not contain anything within my door style except "NA", even though I placed a value in the Division ID field in the Project Navigator Tool Pallet. 

"NA" is what shows up in the field on the Extended Data portion of the Properties pallet for the selected door instance.

As an aside, I found writting this post to be very time consuming because I had to keep refering back to the various ACA screens and pallets to be sure of using the correct names for everything to avoid confusion.  Hopefully I have succeeded!

AutoCAD Architecture :: Editing Property Sets From External Objects - Removal Of File Lock

Sep 4, 2012

I've got a problem following playing around (Typical, isn't it?). Architecture 2011 allows editing property sets from external objects through the host drawing (i.e. change a room number of a property set attached to a space xref'ed in from another construct). This obviously has to put an editing lock onto the xref to prevent data loss in case somebody else works on the xref in the meantime. This editing lock is removed when I close my host drawing. However, the lock is immediately restored when I re-open the host drawing.

How can I release the xref file lock again after editing the property sets in my host drawing?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Space Evaluation / XLS Template Also Reading Space Property Set Data?

Feb 1, 2012

after discovering zones and the space evaluation tool I wonder whether it is possible to customise the XLS output further by also reading out information from a property set attached to the space?

The office standard is to have a property set attached to each space that defines a room number (which is the level ID plus a number, say G-01), the area and the space name.

We used to simply schedule the areas with a schedule table. That only gives us net rooms, no subtotals per department (or say per flat) and no grandtotal.So we got as far as using zones grouping the spaces in each flat.

Now I need an area schedule XLT template that also displays the room number from the space's property set and the schedule grouped in a fashion that I get subtotals per flat (=my zones) in another column and a grandtotal.Playing with the Space evaluation tool I seem to only ever get Room/ zone names and their areas.
