Setting Asset Text Visibility and Order from Smart Client

Use the Smart Client's System / CAD and BIM Manager / Edit Asset Text Fields task to control:

  • the database fields that display as asset text
  • the order in which the drawing displays asset text fields

For example, in the below Room asset symbol, the Room Number, Room Type, Room Standard, Division Code, and Department Code fields display as asset text.

Asset text properties are stored as part of an asset's asset type. To work with asset text, you first select the asset type from the left panel.

Setting Visibility

The right panel lists the visible asset text fields in one panel and all other fields for the asset in the bottom panel. Set asset text visibility by moving the fields between the Visible Asset Text Fields panel and the Additional Fields panel by using the Remove Select and Add Selected buttons.

Setting the Display Order

In the drawing, asset text fields are listed in a vertical list, one field at a time.

Set the order of this list using the Move Up and Move Down buttons in the Visible Asset Text Fields panel.

Saving your Changes

When you are satisfied with the visibility and order, select the Save List button. If you now load a drawing, its asset text fields will reflect these settings.
