Hi, i want to combine an annotation/pos (item number) in the graphic view with one of our attributes (other than the standard item name) - is that possible?
ex.
1 - OLHE
("1" is the normal item number and "OLHE" is the attribute "Author" from Parametric)
Solved! Go to Solution.
I managed to find the answer at support.ptc.com.
Change the CalloutTemplates.XML in AppData under you user profile and the in the illustrate installation folder - there are two and they are buried deep down in the file structure. Make a search!
The solution below shows up but it has no label in the ribbon, and it works - just change the WHATEVER int o your specs.
<annotation id="WHATEVER" hasLeaders="true"> |
<name locid="WHATEVER"/>
<description locid="WHATEVER"/>
<tooltip locid="DEFItemNumberTooltip"/>
<thumbnail url="itm_prop2.png"/>
<leaders>
<line-style weight="1pt" color="#000000" halo="false" dashes="Solid" start="none" end="none"/>
</leaders>
<label canEdit="false">
<text font="Arial" size="10pt" color="#000000">
<useproperty category="System" name="pvITM"/> - <useproperty category="WHATEVER" name="WHATEVER"/>
</text>
<shape type="roundrect" border="true"/>
</label>
</annotation>
