Joe_Carrick Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Architectural Objects (Doors, Windows, Walls, Appliances, Fixtures, Furniture, etc) all have a Component List and one of the fields is "Code". This field can be edited and displayed in the Schedule (if there is one) as well as in user macros. Do you use the Component Code? If yes, what do you use it for? Can you think of a logical use?

DRAWZILLA Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 No, I really don't know what the component code is for, and never use it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Logical use? Product numbers or SKUs maybe. Only thing I have personally ever used it for is to create extra usable data fields for customized schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kMoquin Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I use it for model numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share Posted May 19, 2016 I use it for model numbers. Do you display those in the Plan (Labels) or just in the Schedule(s) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kMoquin Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Just in schedules. Plan notation is W# in a hexagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_Emery Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I use it to bring odd bits of information into the label, as it is the only column in the component dialog box that can be accessed with a macro, and displayed in the label. I've always wondered while this is the only column accessible by macro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
