I have spent so much time researching and reading it is driving me crazy that I can't do what I think should be so simple to setup.
If someone would be so kind as to either point me in the right direction or tell me where I am failing I would be so appreciative.
All I want is to setup the following 2 steps
1) drag a block (that I create) from a pallet onto a drawing. (this is easy)
2) use one of the predefined keynoting tools on one of the predefined pallets to click on the block I inserted from 1) and have ACA insert a predefined keynote (without using the 'pick keynote' dialog box)
I have researched:
detail component manager
content browser
block attributes design center
AEC content wizard
nothing works and I'm going crazy, I'm a seasoned Acad and VBA user but new to ACA. We're a consulting engineering firm that uses ACA but makes no use of its tools. For our work this feature would be so helpful but I can't believe its giving me such a hard time to set up.
I've set up the block in a dwg library file
used AEC content wizard to create a separate dwg file
I created a new detail component defining the keynotes and pointing the the dwg file created by the wizard
i've dragged the block from the dwg onto a pallet
using the reference keynote tool on a AEC pallet when I pick the block I still get the 'pick keynote' dialog box, i want it to automatically insert the note I create.
this is one of many different ways I've tried setting this up, all to no avail....
again, any help would be so appreciative....
