ReMark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Would do you mean "tag" a drawing? Tag it how? Just what are you trying to accomplish? Is it a drawing viewer that you are looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samifox Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 no....i mean i want a "search" field where i cam type "Column detail" , it will search in my drive and bring up drawings. the Costume Properties were perfect for what i need but for some reason it wont work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 These are the two methods I use. I've never used the Custom Properties technique you speak of. There are also custom lisp routines that can be utilized as well. 1. Use the Search tool in Microsoft® Windows® to search for drawings using name, location, and date filters. You can also specify a word or phrase contained in the drawing file. You can search for all textual data except text in tables and fields, and xrefs within drawing files. Supported drawing file types include DWG, DWF, DWT, and DWS. 2. Use the Search dialog box for DesignCenter™ to search for Microsoft Windows file properties, such as title or keyword, that you added to drawings.

ReMark Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 What are you using for a custom name and value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
