changing patterned text |
|
|
rel 2001
I have a group of features that includes a datum curve which is a text
legend. I want to pattern the group, but then modify the text legend,
basically to increment a number. Is this possible? Or can I not modify
patterned text?
Thanks,
Dave

Solution thanks to Terry Johnson on the Pro-User group:

able to UNPATTERN it and MODIFY it.

Unpattern turns the instances into copies, and the text may be edited for
each instance :-) |

Ya know, that's not a bad answer, but, doesn't it bother you that there's still
such a lot of hand labor (aka, jerking off) involved going through this patterned
text and redifining the number text? Why not solve the problem before it starts,
with something like a relation that references the pattern increment or index to
change the number text. I don't know, maybe sketcher's the problem but you can do
relations in sketcher, can't you? A variable that is placed in a file that's read
into sketcher text? I don't know, seems like there ought to be something to get
you out of editing all that crap.

Oh yeah, I agree. Maybe there is a better way. But like most things in Proe,
if it isn't obvious it'll take hours to find it.
