Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD

Asset Graphic Commands Overview

The Archibus tab on the Ribbon in the Extension for AutoCAD includes the Asset Graphic command group. This group of commands provides quick access to commands used when creating asset symbols from your drawings, and when changing the appearance of asset text.

This section includes the following topics:

• Attach to Record . Use this command to link a block or drawing entity with an unattached record in the database.
• Insert Asset . Select assets in the database and insert block symbols in the drawing representing those assets.
• Restrict Grid . Restrict the Archibus grid to show just the records associated with the selected drawing entities.
• Clear Highlights . Clear the results of temporary thematic highlights generated by the Archibus Highlight by Owner commands, and restriction highlights that show the restriction of records in the grid. These highlights are stored on layer HL-TMP by default.
• Set Asset Text Commands : This group of commands enables you to manually adjust asset text height, position, orientation, and justification.
• Restore Highlights . Restores highlights that were pushed to the HL-TMP-RETAINED layer if the ‘Retain’ check box in the Smart Client Filter was checked when the last ‘to Drawing’ call was made.
