Drawing Title View ID

JeffH — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 11:47:38 GMT

I am trying to create a single company specific Drawing Title that meets all of our wants, and have run into a bit of a wall.

with the drawing tool, Archicad allows you to adjust the Drawing ID to be "by layout", "By View ID" & By Custom.

this appears to be using the autotext "Drawing ID"

while trying to create a this drawing title I am struggling to figure out how to differentiate the auto text so that I can have the bubble text read the specific layout while also having smaller grayscale text after the "wall section" drawing name that shows the drawing ID.

I guess I am trying to figure out how or where the view ID+Name script pulls the ID, that differentiates itself from the By Layout/By View ID/Custom toggle.

Ultimately, this is what I am trying to have the Drawing Title look like, but havent be able to get the "A5" & "WS-01" to act independently from each other

you will need to change the code:

this is where it can get the layout name/layout ID

REQUEST ("HomeDB_info", "", homeDBIntId, homeDBUserId, homeDBName, homeContext)
Returns in the given variables the internal ID (integer), the user ID and name (strings) of the home database (where the library part containing
this request was placed).
• if placed on a layout: the layout internal ID, number and name, homeContext = 5.
For labels the returned data refers to the labeled element. The collected data can be used

i.e.

n = request ("HomeDB_info", "", layout_unique_ID, AC_LayoutNumber, AC_LayoutName, layout_home_context)

then you can use the fields

AC_LayoutNumber

AC_LayoutName

the "AC_DrawingName" is the drawing name, this needs to be a parameter in the parameters list to work, it auto populates.

the AC_DrawingNumber" is the drawing number, this needs to be a parameter in the parameters list to work, it auto populates.

Given this is in the Documentation sub and the provided labels, I am assuming this is an in-the-box drawing title? If so, please provide information regarding your localisation as library parts may vary.
