Using attributes for projects, filesets, drawing files and layouts

Project attributes

You can give each project a list of attributes, such as construction volume, location, specialist planners involved, and so on. These attributes are included when you exchange or back up data. You do not need to log these project-specific data separately.

Layout attributes, fileset attributes, drawing file attributes

You can assign attributes defining the display type (e.g., plan, section, elevation etc.) and the custom hierarchic code. Drawing files generated as the result of a section or hidden line image calculation are given a special attribute. As these data may not be modified after a layout has been approved and released, the owner or administrator can remove write permission from all project users. In addition, there are layout types for layouts (e.g., key plan, site plan etc.), a custom name and a layout index. You can also specify change notices and release notes in an index table.
