When editing a dwt file you should not access any IRRICAD tasks as this ‘breaks’ the file for use in IRRICAD Link. Therefore, in order to add IRRICAD field names to the dwt template follow the below steps:-
1. Make sure you have applied the 16.09 or later patch. This will install the required lsp file. Run AutoCAD or BricsCAD without IRRICAD Link loaded. To do this make sure that the profile switch on the desktop icon is set to the default or required AutoCAD or BricsCAD Profile. For more information read Irricad Options|Help Topics – Overview and Installation -> Troubleshooting the Installation -> Default BricsCAD or AutoCAD Loads IRRICAD Menus.
2. In Model space APPLOAD the "Irricad Custom Props.lsp" located in the "Config" folder of your IRRICAD Link installation (e.g., C:\Program Files\Irricad\Irricad Link AutoCAD 2018\Config). If you can't find the lsp file download it from www.irricad.com/irricad/download/Help/I ... mProps.zip and extract the lsp to the Config folder.
Now action the IRRICADPROPS command and the custom properties will be applied to the current file.
3. Go to the required layout tab and action MTEXT, specify the location for the field on the screen and press <Enter>. Right-click and select “Insert Field”. In the “Field” dialog the “Document Section” should be open and you will see a list of IRR_ field names.
4. Select the required field name and click OK on both the dialog and formatting bar. The new field will contain dashes until it is populated.
5. To modify the text size double-click on the field and change the text style and enter the required height. Click OK.
Note that layouts can be saved to a separate file and added to any template or drawing as required. To save the current layout enter LAYOUT SA.
To save the complete template simply use the normal Save options.
