Item Number Location Control
Our standard is to have the product item number in the Bottom Left of the products. Here's how I got our product Elevation drawings to place it exactly how we wanted.
- Add a few Global Prompts under the Shop Drawings > Item Number Options category
- First is a toggle to use these custom settings.
- Prompt Name: Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left
- Prompt Control Type: Checkbox
- Second is the dim from the left.
- Prompt Name: G!Elevation_ItemNumber_X_Dim
- Prompt Control Type: Text Box
- Value: =UCN(4,100)
- Third is the dim from the bottom.
- Prompt Name: G!Elevation_ItemNumber_Z_Dim
- Prompt Control Type: Text Box
- Value: =UCN(4,100)
- The existing Base, Tall, Upper and Countertop "X2DElv" AND "Z2DElv" Global values use the new prompts with the formulas:
- Prompts: G!Base_Item_NumberX2DElv G!Tall_Item_NumberX2DElv G!Upper_Item_NumberX2DElv G!Countertop_Item_NumberX2DElv
- Value: =IF(G!Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left,-L!Width/2+G!Elevation_ItemNumber_X_Dim,0)
- Prompts: G!Base_Item_NumberZ2DElv G!Tall_Item_NumberZ2DElv
- Value: =IF(G!Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left,IFERROR(-L!Toe_Kick_Height,0)-G!Elevation_ItemNumber_Z_Dim,UCN(6,150))
- Prompts: G!Upper_Item_NumberZ2DElv
- Value: =IF(G!Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left,-L!Height+G!Elevation_ItemNumber_Z_Dim,UCN(6,150))
- Prompts: G!Countertop_Item_NumberZ2DElv
- Value: =IF(G!Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left,L!Height-G!Elevation_ItemNumber_Z_Dim,-UCN(6,150))
- Prompts: G!Toe_Kick_Item_NumberZ2DElv
- Value: =IF(G!Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left,L!Height+G!Elevation_ItemNumber_Z_Dim,UCN(6,150))
Please Note:
- These modifications will only work with products that have the ItemNumberX2DElv and ItemNumberX2DElv prompts (and, of course, reference the Globals)
- It is similarly possible to move the 3D Item Number, but we chose not to.
Enjoy
