Replace Door and Window Number with Label in the future

Is is being considered to lose the current architectural rule for a door number (window No., Etc)

And use a cell with a label?

Then add t-way abilities with the Table??

I can create a door with a 2d symbol and would be able to add a Label????

They would stay put.

And what about auto sequencing so that when you change a door number in the table it corrects the rest sequentially

Parents
  • DataGroup Annotation (including Door and Window IDs) are cells with text. Architectural Drawing Rules simply scan the drawing and add these cells as set by the rule.

    I have no idea what this means: "Then add t-way abilities with the Table??"

    I also am unclear what's being described here: "I can create a door with a 2d symbol and would be able to add a Label????"



  • The t-way is a 2-way or two-way between the door number and the cell
    So you can work in a table/spreadsheet/schedule to make changes to the schedule and the drawings
    That would be huge

    The 2nd is - yes you can create a door with a number. But it is done poorly.
    It moves, it duplicates and it created a large set of door numbers that are awkward when a door is added.
    I move every one of the door numbers and a few dozen times I have to do this again.

    When I create a compound cell I CAN place the door number in a location that fits 99% of the time and I can edit a cell the 2 tiles it does not.

    PCS woudl also work but I will be glad when that product disappears.
