Making Text Dynamic

You can create text items that reference images, 2D artwork or 3D objects. The text items can be set to update automatically if those items change, saving you from doing it manually.

In this video:

• Create a text item.

• In the properties for your text item, click the Dynamic button.

• Drag to pick on any items in the workspace.

• Colorway updates the information in the text box depending on which item you referenced. If the item is updated, the changes are reflected in the text box.

• Change the Property of what is referenced, whether it's the whole item or sheet.

• Change the Precision if the item contains numbers.

• Hide the extension if the file contains an extension.
