Access Data from the Draw Database

All Draw (PADD) attributes are accessible. For example, attribute ABCD of the current annotation element can be accessed by code #ABCD. In addition the name of any Draw element can be accessed. For example:

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. See Drawing Revisions for further information.

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