    Using Reassign Field to Update Text Field Links

      Product: OpenBuildings Designer
      Version: CONNECT Edition
      Area: Annotation
    Subarea: Text Fields

    The Situation

    My notes and other text using Text Fields are showing hatch marks.

    Solution

    Use Reassign Text to reassign or link the text field to a new item.

    Text fields show hatch marks when there is no data to display.  If the text filed is linked to a DataGroup Property this could be due to the DataGroup property having no data or it could be that the item the text is linked to no longer exists or has been replaced by another element.  In the first case the data simply needs to be added to the element, but in the latter case the text field should be reassigned to a new element.

    Steps:

    1. In the Text Editor window, select the field you want to reassign.

      The field should have been created with the Insert Field > Element properties option on the Text Editor right-click menu

      1. Right-click and choose Reassign Field from the pop-up menu.
      2. Select the new element to which the text field will be assigned.

      The field is reassigned to the new element.
