In addition to project properties, these properties might also be useful for annotating a project:
■
Field properties: Fields are updatable information units that can be embedded in property set definitions. There
are different field categories to choose from, among them project fields, sheet set fields, and keynote fields. For
more information, see “
Fields ” on page 1895.
■
Location properties: Can be used to retrieve property data from spaces and AEC polygons associated with an
object. A data location grip on the object is used to define the space or AEC polygon associated with it. For example,
this can be used to get the room number for the space in which a door opens.
For detailed information, see “ Adding a Location Property Definition to a Property Set Definition ” on page 2084.
■
Formula properties: Allow you to create formulas from other property definitions you have defined. For example,
to subtract a finish quantity from a wall volume, you could set up a formula in which a defined finish amount is
deducted from a wall volume.
For detailed information, see “ Adding a Formula Property Definition to a Property Set Definition ” on page 2073.
■
Classification properties: Can be used to get the current classification of an object's style, or to get other
property data defined for that classification. For more information, see “
Classification Definitions ” on page 2096.
■
Material property definition: Can be used to get the current material of an object, or to get other property
data defined for that material.
For detailed information, see “ Materials ” on page 501.
