Problem Description

How can I associate a new DataGroup Type with the DataGroup annotation cell to be used in a drawing rule?

Steps to Resolve

1. Create the DataGroup Type and have it display in the DataGroup Catalog Editor with any items under it.
2. Open the Manage DataGroup Annotation Cells dialog from the Building Designer pulldown menu.
3. The current library used is Annotation_DG .cel
4. Click on the "Create New Cell Model" icon at the top of the dialog box.
5. Enter Design type, Name and check on all options under "Cell Properties".
6. OK
7. In "Manage DataGroup Annotation Cells" dialog box select the new annotation cell from the "Current Annotation Cell" list and associate the DataGroup Catalog "Type" with it.
8. Create the graphics for the annotation cell in the model and place the Information needed for it from the "DataGroup Information" list with the Place Text button.
9.Close the dialog and exit the program.
10. Open "Annotate Tool Settings" dialog from the Building Designer pulldown menu.
11. Selet the DataGroup Annotation type and associate an annotation cell to it from the Cell column list.
12. Apply and OK.
13. Open the drawing model and right click on an element in it to select "Set Reference Presentation".
14. Click "Attach New Rule" icon and create new rule from the icon at the top of the dialog box.
15. Type in the new rule name, description and select which DataGroup Catalog Type you want to apply it to.
16. When you do this the annotation cell should appear in the list next to "Annotation Cell" since it was already added to the Annotate Tool Settings dialog box.
17. Save and close the dialog boxes.
18. The new rule should now appear in the rules and will be applied to whichever graphics have the DataGroup Type associated with it.
