The software uses the XML schema, (.XSD) file to populate the Fields list on the Place Drawing Property Label ribbon.
-
Open the [Product Folder]\3DRefData\SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Labels\Border\Schema\Configuration.xsd file using your default text editor, and save it as MHECustom.xsd in the same folder location.
-
In the element declaration on row 3, replace Configuration with MHECustom, so that the element name is defined as <xs: element name="MHECustom">.
-
Modify the next element name so that it defines one of the new drawing custom attributes in the MHPDRCustomAtt.xls workbook. For example, using PDRCapacityRequired, the line would read <xs:element name="PDRCapacityRequired">.
-
Modify the pk name to point to the AttributeName property of the bulkloaded attribute. For example, using the above drawing custom attribute name, the line would read <pk name="PDRCapacityRequired"/>.
The pk name in the MHECustom.xsd file must match the related AttributeName property of the bulkloaded attribute.
Your .xsd file should look similar to the example below:
-
Continue modifying the element name and pk name strings to add the remaining two new drawing custom attributes to the .XSD file.
-
Save the .XSD file, and exit the text editor.
-
Open the model, and create a drawing template in the Drawings and Reports task.
-
Right-click the drawing template in the Management Console, and select Properties.
The Custom tab displays the new drawing custom properties.
