Autocad 2004 - Insert a "Custom Property" in the drawing ?

**Dubweisertm** · 2013-09-12, 03:08 PM

Hi !

In the past, I used Autocad Arch 2011 and I do what I want easily...

But for the now, with Autocad 2004, I can't add a Custom Property (dwgprops)...

Is someone can help me ? Thanks in advance !

Hi !

Maybe my question is not really clear...

I created in the "DWGPROPS" a Custom Property named APPT...

Is there a way to display her value in a TEXT or MTEXT wherever in the drawing ?

Thanks in advance !

No, that would require a "field" which didn't exist back then as far as I can remember.

Is there another way, maybe with LISP ???

Thanks in advance !

It's probably possible with LISP - not having access to 2004 I can't walk you through it, and the method of storing and accessing dwgprops data has changed over the years. But LISP would not be 'live', it would just create a static text element that showed a constant value -- at that point you might as well just put it in as text.

Maybe look into RTEXT?

Hi, if I really understand, as soon as my custom property (APPT) will change, the text will still the same ?
