hello community,
I´m very proud to have managed to:
- create a cell in a dgnlib that reads Item types (area, number of rooms, bathrooms, etc) attached to shapes.
- I´m placing this cell as a label and I´m able to read out these item types in my working files.
so far so good. (it looks like this)
I need help with:-Re associating the label to a shape when association is broken. like I do with any dimension.
- If I decide I want to now show the perimeter of the room. I would change the cell and update the label. In this case the association is also broken. Is there anyway to keep the association or in the worst case scenario re-link it when it breaks?
Thank you very much!
Hi Axel,
I did some tests and I suggest using the tool "Modify element". If the association is broken with "Modify element" you should be able to re-associate the label.
For the second question, I tried to reproduce the issue and if I update the cell (Rpleace cell tool) I lost the association. I am investigating deeply about this, do you have a test case that I could check?
I leave you some useful links about this topic:

Hello Benedetta,
I tried to reassociate a label with "Modify element" but this did not work...
Can you explain a bit futher? Maybe a little video?
Thanks,
Luc Dierick
Hi Luc,
I recorded a short video where I have 3 shapes with Item types attached. I lost the association and with the tool "Modify Element" I re-associate my label to the shape.
I hope this could help you.
My regards,

Benedetta,
Thanks for your fast answer.
But we use labels without a leader....So I am afraid this will not help us.
Any ideas?
please try to use the tool "Reassign Field" to re-associate the label to the shape.
To update/reassign fields we have to assign Reassign Field to all individual fields. I want to notify you that there is an opened Enhancement 664344 that requests to update multiple fields.
