Attributes of other Draw elements can be accessed using the FROM qualifier. For example:

AVEVA E3D Design pseudo-attributes can be accessed in the same manner.

A single integer qualifier can be specified to attributes that require them using the optional ^ delimiter.

Special codewords are also available:

Special functionality is provided for the codewords that extract revision data:

These codewords extract their data from the first REVI element in the Sheet’s list. If the qualifier <FR DRWG> is appended then data is extracted from the first REVI element in the Drawing’s list. To extract data from a specific REVI element a qualifier can be used. The REVI element can be specified by name, for example:

#RVAU<FR/REV3>

or the pseudo-reference array attributes SREVAY and DREVAY can be used. For example:

The SREVAY and DREVAY attributes are described. Refer to Drawing Revisions for further information.

The FROM qualifier is described. Refer to Extract Attribute Data from any Specified Element for further information.
