why does this program make me feel like an idiot. Don't answer that, I am sure it is a feature. I guess I expect it to act like a cross between excel and autocad, and it does not do that exactly.

Sorry, I digress, but I can't believe I have to ask this question: how do you create a copy of a tab in the title block? I would rather not have to recreate 3 of every size title block, in order to get my audio/video/control legend on each title block, I thought perhaps a new tab and cut and paste would work. Heck, I don't even know how to create a new tab without importing a new drawing (importing my legends drawing from .s01 created a new tab).

yes, I looked through the indexed help searching for "tabs" and "title blocks", no, I did not rewatch the titleblock customization video, yes I searched the forum topics.

Thank you,

Linda

Hi Linda,

UDPs probably would be the answer; with a UDP, as you've discovered, can can make a symbol look any way you want.

It may well be that SD7 can do exactly what you want out of the box, even though it's outside the expected workflow. Let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,

How do I add a blue connector line to an image UDP (that the cable tool can snap to)?

Hi Linda,

I would start with a symbol that already has the required IOs, e.g. by beginning with the UDP wizard (Tools | Create User Defined Product) and simply add the image to that. This would require less time and effort than doing it the other way around.

ok, great. So what is the best way to add connector tab to a picture?

Thanks
