How to show custom properties on a diagram
- Thread starter SunGodly
- Start date
Hi,
to show the cust prop in the shapes text field, select from the menu "insert -> Field" and choose the value from the dialog box in section "custom properties". To show cust props in any other shape, like the page which is a shape itself, select "insert -> Field" and add a "user defined formula" like "=<shapename>!cellname" if it's a reference to a shape sheet cell or "=<shapename>!prop.<custpropname>" if it's a reference to a cust prop. To show a cust prop of the page, select "Insert -> Field" and add a user defined formula "=TheSheet!Prop.<custpropname>". If you want to reference a cust prop of another page in the doc, us a formula like "=pages[<pagename>]!Prop.<custprop>". You can also reference any object on another page using "=pages[<pagename>]!<shapename>!Prop.<custprop>".
Hope that helps.
bye.
