Updating and Modifying Fields
This blog follows on from my previous blog: How to Insert Fields (14/09/2020).
To manually update or modify a field, double-click on the text to open it in the text editor. Then right-click in the field and select the appropriate option from the shortcut menu. (If the text editor is not active, the options are not available).
- Fields that do not have a current value assigned, display as four dashes (----) in the drawing. For example, four dashes would be displayed in the Title field in a drawing in which the title has not yet been assigned in the Drawing Properties.
Field Settings
By default, the current values for fields update automatically in a drawing when you do any of the following: Open, Save, Plot, eTransmit, or Regenerate the drawing.
- To control which actions cause an update, use the Field Update Settings dialogue box. Put a check in the box to automatically update fields.
- To access the Field Update Settings dialogue box, in the Options dialogue box>User Preferences tab, click Field Update Settings.
