Associative Area

Would it be possible to make area tags that are updated when the polyline that defines that area is moved or updated. We were hoping to be able to stretch or expand without having to remeasure the areas in a drawing. Im sure this would be helpful in other cases too but areas are most important.

Also, its very important to us that the keys we use in the drawings are 100% correct but things get moved around alot and its hard to keep track of changes. Would there possibly be a way for us to get a keying system that would update throughout the entire multi drawing set as we moved stuff around?

Thanks Galen

Maco called Blocker, but you do have to run it to update the areas, so it's not a live dynamic update.

Hi Galen,

I'm not sure where you can still buy Blocker?

This function is part of what Smart Floors need to be.

Datacad used to sell it on their website, but I don't think it is there anymore. You can contact Datacad and see if it is still available. If Datacad is not going to sell it anymore, maybe they should put it on Cheap Tricks Ware. But then again, maybe it already is. So you might want to check there also.
