Hi all,

I'm sry for asking basic stuff that has probably been discussed already (can't find a solution if any).

I've created a custom property. Data type: area Value: custom ie. 123. 
Can I show the custom value (123) in autotext. When I try I end up with the property name. 
Thanks

Autotext with the text tool will just give you the "#property name".

But if you use an autotext label, it will read the value of that property from the element you associate the label to.

So long as the element has a classification that that property is linked to.
