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the out-of-date marker.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Turning Off the Out-of-Date Marker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 2029.
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.
