Access to Chief's Built-in "Global" macros

[Alaskan_Son]

I recently discovered a way in X13 to gain access to almost all of Chief's built-in "Global" macros.  I believe the only exceptions are %wall.top_elevation% and %wall.bottom_elevation%. 

 

Email me at alaskansons@gmail.com and I'll send you the system for $25.00.  You'll need to decide how and where exactly to use all the various values yourself, but all you have to do is drop a library object into your desired view and fully accessible global variables are automatically set to correspond with each of the following global macros:

 

%client.name%

%client.company%

%client.phone%

%client.secondphone%

%client.cellphone%

%client.fax%

%client.website%

%client.e-mail%

%client.street%

%client.city%

%client.state%

%client.zipcode%

%client.country%

 

%designer.name%

%designer.company%

%designer.phone%

%designer.secondphone%

%designer.cellphone%

%designer.fax%

%designer.website%

%designer.e-mail%

%designer.street%

%designer.city%

%designer.state%

%designer.zipcode%

%designer.country%

 

%file.dir%

%file.drive%

%file.ext%

%file%

%file.name%

%view.name%

%scale%

%sheet.size%

%living.area%

 

%page%

%page.print%

%numpages%

%lastpage%

%layout.label%

%layout.title%

%layout.description%

%layout.comments%

%revision.label%

%revision.description%

%revision.by%

%revision.date%

 

The values can be parsed using Ruby just like any other name:value pair.  Any item we already have access to one way or another was intentionally excluded. 

 

Again, the system is $25.00 and includes a custom library object along with some simple instructions.  My email address is alaskansons@gmail.com and my PayPal link is

Either send me a payment along with an email address or send me an email and I’ll send over a payment request.

This is good news, does it work on layout as well? I have some information which goes to layout, and some which go to plan? I thought I'd have one file for everything and parse it into each

It works in plan views, it works in layout, it works in elevation views, and it works in CAD details.

I purchased this from Michael - simply to learn how it works.  Very nice addition to my toolbox and knowledge.

Thanks Michael.

Just a side note, but I've also found a way to access %wall.top_elevation% and %wall.bottom_elevation%.  These 2 values can only be accessed using notes and a note schedule though.

And this will work in X14 as well?

Yes.
