Hi,
In "Annotate Tool Settings", we assign the "Annotation datagroup Cell" to a catalog type, and therefore to all the "Catalog Items" of the "Catalog Type".
But, it's possible to assign "Annotation datagroup Cell" directly to a "Catalog Item"? Or are there any filter to control which Items will have annotation Cells?
Best Regards,
Xavier C.A.
Hi Xavi,
What you need to do is assign a Search Criteria to the Annotation Rule, instead to use the whole DataGroup Item:
To create the Criteria file and set, you must use the "Search By Attributes" tool:
Be sure you assign a name to the Criteria Set (using "Criteria Sets" option in menu Tools, and later save the criteria file.
Hope this help,
Eduardo

Thanks a lot Eduardo!
Well, I tested it, but we have some problems with Selectby.
This is our problems with "Selectby" tool:
1- In "Select by Attirbutes" tool window, when we choose "Datagroup" criteria, and click "Initialize settings", AECOsim takes 2-4 minutes to load the window. It's strange, this sample-test project is totally in a local machine. It happens also when we open "Edit Catalogs" tools. See the video attached in this post.
2- Is there some specific path or folder to save the "resource" file with a Selectby configuration? In your capture, I see that is possible to list the resource files saved with specific configuration. We can't do it. We save our resource file, but we don't know how to list as it's showed in your capture.
3- And the last question: there are some strange wokflows with this tool that is not working correctly.... See the video attached to this post.
Best regards,
EiPM
About your question #2, the answer is yes, you can save the resource file where you need, and you will be able to select also your own folder when will select the criteria file on the drawing rules dialog.
You must be able to find the resource file clicking in the 3 dot icon at right of the file name.
Thanks Eduardo!
Well, now our main problems are focused in "Select By Properties".
In the question #2, we can't list nothing in "criteria set", in the "Select By properties" tool. And therefore, we can't list nothing in "criteria name" in "Apply Drawing rules".
I upload again my video of the last post, in zip format, because there is some problem to preparing the video for the last post.

Solved! Well, like in other workflows in AECOsim, the workflow is really a little bit chaotic.
Now, everything seems to be solved. Well, not all: Load a criteria set of "datagroup" takes too much time to load.
The last question: we want to create several "resource files". Well, when we load "Select By Attributes", and we do File -> Open Resources, the first path/folder showed is the path/folder of the user in local machine. Are there any way to config a path/folder to be opened by default?
thanks!
Wow! perfect, Eduardo, it works!
only it remains to solve the time to load a criteria set of "datagroup", that takes too much time to load.
Thanks a lot, Xavier C.A EiPM
