29. USER ATTRIBUTES IN AUTOMATIC LABELING

Did you know that you can attach user defined attributes to hydraulic items? For example, information about crops in a zone can be added to a control valve or irrigation block and subsequently used in labels and reports.

If you wish to have this information displayed on the design you can specify this in the automatic labeling tool.

To display the attributes:

1. Add the key word #USER# to the item label e.g., control valve or as the image below shows, an irrigation block.

2. Create the label (Tools|Create Label).

There are several options for how the attribute information can be displayed. You can read about these options in Help|Help Topics User Manual-> Enhancing the Presentation of Plans>Automatic Labeling>User Attributes and User Keywords.

We hope you have found this helpful. If you have a tip you would like to share, please email your tip to Support@IRRICAD.com

Hi Jo,

Is there also a way to enable attributes for electrical items?

Not at present Kosi, but it would be relatively easy to add, so we can add this as a feature request.

Thanks Dan,

Absolutely if it is easy to add, please do! It will be very useful for our Automation Plans.

Thanks!
