2 Define an object class (page 120).
This step is often performed by the CAD Manager in your organization.
3 Use object classification to standardize the objects in your drawings.
■ Create new objects using object classification (page 987).
These new objects are created using the standard properties specified
for the object class.
■ Assign an object class to an existing object (page 989).
The properties and data associated with the object are changed to
match the standards specified for the object class.
Once you have drawing objects in your drawing, you can do the following:
■
Edit object class data for an object (page 991).
■ Select objects by object class (page 993).
■ Query objects from source drawings by object class name (page 1244).
■ Query objects from source drawings by object class properties (page 1248).
■ Modify objects based on their object class (page 1267).
■ Add text to objects based on object class values (page 1278).
■ Create a report that lists the object class properties of selected objects (page
1477).
■
View information about attached drawings (page 172).
