Title type - was a good idea

[Aussie John]

I thought it was a good idea to include a title type in my layout for the few instances where i havnt labeled my drawing in Archicad. Now each time I Import a drawing it attaches itself ( as default). this is rather annoying and another example of a great GS feature not implemented very well.

Someone please tell me I am wrong and you can turn off the title type so it doesnt have to attach to a new import. (I know you can deselect it after the import but that is a pain.)

Yes we do. For example:
- if you want to save a DWG that can be fully edited and worked on, you have to save from ArhiCAD

What's the connection with DWG? John's referring to two-way drawing name/number communication between AC & PM.

PmAShNo in section markers on the plan saved as DWG is not a good reference to a drawing in a set.

I get you now. I rarely send DWGs from ArchiCAD so I haven't had the problem myself. But then I also set my drawing numbers in ArchiCAD and use a blank placeholder for the sheet number in detail and section markers so I never really worry about it.

I only save DWG from plotmaker. It is easier to keep track of what has been sent as you are sending a drawing that has a number and a name and revision.
