drawing-driven asset

An asset that typically originates as an entity in a drawing and then is converted to an asset symbol through data editing or data numbering. Deleting a drawing-driven asset record explodes drawing-driven asset symbols; that is, it removes the asset information from the asset symbol and retains the component drawing entity in the drawing. The Record Source field in the A/FM Assets Types table determines whether an asset type is table-driven or drawing-driven. Compare table-driven asset . See also exploding .
