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.
  1. Add a few Global Prompts under the Shop Drawings > Item Number Options category
    1. First is a toggle to use these custom settings.
      1. Prompt Name: Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left
      2. Prompt Control Type: Checkbox
    2. Second is the dim from the left.
      1. Prompt Name: G!Elevation_ItemNumber_X_Dim
      2. Prompt Control Type: Text Box
      3. Value: =UCN(4,100)
    3. Third is the dim from the bottom.
      1. Prompt Name: G!Elevation_ItemNumber_Z_Dim
      2. Prompt Control Type: Text Box
      3. Value: =UCN(4,100)
  2. The existing Base, Tall, Upper and Countertop "X2DElv" AND "Z2DElv" Global values use the new prompts with the formulas:
    1. Prompts: G!Base_Item_NumberX2DElv G!Tall_Item_NumberX2DElv G!Upper_Item_NumberX2DElv G!Countertop_Item_NumberX2DElv
    2. Value:    =IF(G!Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left,-L!Width/2+G!Elevation_ItemNumber_X_Dim,0)
    3. Prompts: G!Base_Item_NumberZ2DElv G!Tall_Item_NumberZ2DElv
    4. Value:    =IF(G!Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left,IFERROR(-L!Toe_Kick_Height,0)-G!Elevation_ItemNumber_Z_Dim,UCN(6,150))
    5. Prompts: G!Upper_Item_NumberZ2DElv
    6. Value:    =IF(G!Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left,-L!Height+G!Elevation_ItemNumber_Z_Dim,UCN(6,150))
    7. Prompts: G!Countertop_Item_NumberZ2DElv
    8. Value:    =IF(G!Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left,L!Height-G!Elevation_ItemNumber_Z_Dim,-UCN(6,150))
    9. Prompts: G!Toe_Kick_Item_NumberZ2DElv
    10. Value:    =IF(G!Draw_Item_Number_Bottom_Left,L!Height+G!Elevation_ItemNumber_Z_Dim,UCN(6,150))
Please Note:
  1. These modifications will only work with products that have the ItemNumberX2DElv and ItemNumberX2DElv prompts (and, of course, reference the Globals)
  2. It is similarly possible to move the 3D Item Number, but we chose not to.

Enjoy
