DRAW Reference Manual
Intelligent Text
Intelligent Text
Intelligent text allows data to be automatically extracted from the Design, Catalogue or Drawing databases and entered on a Drawing. Intelligent text uses codewords, which all begin with a # character.
Example: 
’Standby pump #NAME’
The advantages of intelligent text are:
•
If the data in any of the three databases changes then when the Drawing is updated the correct new values are automatically obtained and entered upon the Drawing.
•
You do not have to navigate through the relevant database, retrieve the data, return to the DRAW database and input the data manually.
•
The same text string with its embedded codewords can be used many times to generate text strings that are similar in format but different in detail.
The text strings where you can use intelligent text are:
DMTX
dimension line text (of Dimension Points and Directions,
PLTX
projection line text (for example, ADIR, APPT, DPOI, DPPT, DPBA)
BTEX
general text string of General Labels (GLAB) and Template (TXTM). Refer to Text Strings for further information.
