Detail Marker automation SNAFU

Anonymous
Not applicable
I am setting up automated detail markers, and find that the only marker with an otherwise complete feature set, "Detail Indicator NCS" inexplicably has no Drawing Number parameter for "plotmaker" or "custom", so I can't get Plotmaker to automate the detail numbers. Oddly, only the bare-bones "Simple Detail Marker" has the "plotmaker/custom" parameter for Drawing Number, but I find it otherwise insufficient graphically.

Will the very latest 8.1 library download solve this?

Also, in the "Detail Settings" box, when I type in the Name (upper right field, so that it appears in the Save As .pmk box and then on the layout as a Drawing Title), the Name strangely appears on the placed "Detail Indicator NCS", in the lower half (sheet number area), appended to the <sheet number> autotext. Weird science, or wacko pilot?

Thank you,
Doug
