The following steps show how to add a custom revision property label to a drawing border. To add non-custom property labels to the template, see Place a drawing property label on a template.

  1. Open the Sample Custom Revision Properties for Bulkload.xls workbook, available on the Customer Support web site. Edit the workbook as needed, and then save and close the workbook.

  2. Bulkload the Sample Custom Revision Properties for Bulkload.xls workbook. See the Reference Data Help for information on populating Excel workbooks and bulkloading.

  3. Open the [Reference Data Folder]\SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Labels\Border\Schema folder, and then open the Revision.xsd file.

  4. Copy and paste an existing xs:element section into the Revision.xsd file, and change the name parameter to a value you want to display in the Place Border Label list. For example, using Engineering Check By as the attribute user name, the line might be <xs:element name="Eng_Check_By">.

    The name can contain any combination of alphanumeric characters. The name parameter supports underbars (_) and dashes (-). The name must also begin with a letter. Spaces are not supported.

  5. Add a line that points to the InterfaceName and AttributeName property of the bulkloaded attribute. For example, if the InterfaceName is IJDwgCustomRevision, and the AttributeName is RevEngChkBy, the necessary line would be [@pk='IJDwgCustomRevision_RevEngChkBy']. Your .xsd file would look similar to the following:

    <xs:element name="Eng_Check_By">
    <xs:annotation>
    <xs:appinfo>
    <xpath select="//dpg[@type= '1']/dp[@pk=
    'IJDwgCustomRevision_RevEngChkBy']/value"/>
    </xs:appinfo>
    </xs:annotation>
    </xs:element>

  6. In the Drawings and Reports task, click Tools > Edit Border Template.

  7. On the Select Template dialog, select a template, and click OK to open the template in SmartSketch Drawing Editor.

  8. In the Label Set list (the first list on the ribbon), select Revisions.

  9. In the Fields list (the second list on the ribbon), select the custom revision property to use.

  10. Zoom into the area of the border where you want to place the revision property label. Click the template to place the label.

  11. Continue placing labels on the template as necessary.

  12. Right-click to end the command, and save the changes to the template before closing SmartSketch Drawing Editor.

  13. Update any drawing documents associated with the modified template. See Updating Documents in the Drawings Help.

  14. Right-click the drawing and select Properties.

  15. Go to the Revision tab. The new Custom revision property displays on the tab.

  16. To verify the custom drawing property is added to the drawing title block, right-click the drawing and select Open. The custom revision property includes the Custom Property attribute in the title block.
