Custom Patch Object

Pertti Paasky

Hello!
The Patch object needs some developing. I tried to find it but it is somewhere deep down in librarytree.. can't find it. My purpose is to save changes in plans by creating a patch object by the marque tool. It is supposed to have cloúd linetype frame and a lable. It would have several parameters to make notes of changes in drawings.

It is of course possible to add parameters to a new patch object, but it is faster to have your own customized patch object. So is it possible to create such a typeobject ?
Thanks for help.

Pertti:

I tried the Open Object by Subtype... command and navigated to Drawing Symbol > Patch, but this library part's scripts are all blank. I suspect that the patches are not created with GDL, but the result of application programming. So this may not be available via GDL.

Hello,

Should be found, opened and modified by following method:

- place the detail patch in the floor plan

- select it and choose "Open object..."

- open master script and select the name of the Marker Macro
call "Detail Worksheet Marker Macro"

- choose "Open object..."
