Topic: Improvements on title block customization
Hello,
Work on customized title blocks continues with the introduction today of customized name/value pairs that may be used by title block templates. Demonstration:
1 - We start with a custom title block template, having a field whose label is "Status" and value is "%status":
2 - We edit the diagram properties and use that new tab to associate the "status" variable name with a value specific to the current diagram (here, "draft"):
Note that you can store here various name/value pairs, even if they are not used by the current title block template. They are just data related to this diagram -- you may display them in the future using another title block template.
3 - Finally, we apply these settings and our title block is immediately updated:
Next steps imply creating a user-friendly template editor. The current one is still aimed at very advanced users (you have to edit XML code directly), although an "Integrate a logo" button has been added for convenience.
See you soon !
