Expanding the Scope of Scheduled Data
The data that can be collected and graphically presented in a schedule table is extensive. To effectively customize
schedule tables to meet your needs, you need to understand the following elements which control how data is displayed
and which data is collected.
■
Property set data
■
Property set definitions
■
Automatic properties
■
Manual properties
■
Formula definitions
■
Classification definitions
■
Material definitions
■
Project definitions
■
Anchor definitions
■
Graphic definitions
Property Set Data
Objects to be included in schedule tables or linked to tags must have property set data attached to them. Schedule
tables and tags do not store any data, but extract and display property set data from the associated objects.
Property set data is collected from one or more property sets attached to an object or a style. Some property data, such
as a dimension, comes from automatic properties of the object or the object style and cannot be manually entered,
such as dimensions. Other property data consists of manual properties for which you must enter values for each object
or object style, such as manufacturer’s name.
IMPORTANT If an entity or style containing a property set is copied from a source drawing into a target drawing that already
contains a property set with the same name, the property set in the target drawing does not change. There is a potential for
a loss of data in this case. For example, assume a property set in one drawing has a number of manual properties defined and
is attached to a door style with manual property values set. This door style is then copied into another drawing that contains
a duplicate property set that does not have the same manual properties defined. In the target drawing the door style will
contain the target drawing’s property set, not the source drawing’s property set. Any data values associated with the source
drawing’s manual properties will be lost.
Attaching Property Set Data to Objects
Use this procedure to attach property set data to objects that you want to include in a schedule table or link to schedule
tags.
You attach property set data to objects by attaching one or more property sets, defined by a property set definition.
After property sets are attached, the values for automatic properties are determined from the object, and you can enter
values for the manual properties.
For information about attaching property set data to an object style, see “
Attaching Property Set Data to Styles and
Definitions
” on page 2064. For information about property sets and external references, see “
Attaching Property Sets to
Objects from External References
” on page 301.
