Hi,

Is there a way to copy symbols within a drawing and to have the attributes follow the paste?

Regards,

Pasquale

Hi Rob,

An automatic instance ID should be fine. Unique programmable instance ID could be an extra field for our proper use such in a case when you have 3 wall plates with identical features within the same room; this however can already be done through the existing feature of user definable attributes.

Thank you

Pasquale

Hi Rob,

I'd like the identifiers to not be automatic, or at least make it editable. I always use identifiers with my designs and end up putting them as text fields above the block. It would be nice if that was an attribute that I could name and then copies would be automatically incrementally numbered.

For example: Wall plates are WPL-01, Mixers are MIX-01 and etc...

This would let me pull reports for all connections made on the design for a specific block, among other benefits.

thx
