7.6.4. How can I pull the SuNo as a property into the title block?

Displaying the support number (SuNo) as a property in the title block

In SuCri Module 4, a support number (SuNo) is automatically assigned when drawings are generated and stored in the drawing properties. In this guide you will learn how to integrate this information permanently into your title block in order to optimize the presentation of your drawings and ensure that the documents are uniquely identifiable.

Prerequisites

• The drawing was created or generated with SuCri Module 4.
• You have the permissions to edit the title block or the block definitions in AutoCAD / Plant 3D.

Step-by-step guide

1. Open the Module 4 drawing. SuCri has already automatically created the SuNo property in the background and assigned the corresponding value (e.g. "2A").
2. Open the editing mode for your title block (for example by double-clicking the block or by editing the attribute definition).
3. Navigate to the position in the title block where the number is to appear and add a new field.
4. In the dialog window, select the following path (in the English user interface: Insert → Field → Drawing properties → SuNo):
   Menü: Einfügen → Feld → Zeichnungseigenschaften → SuNo
5. Place the field at the desired position (e.g. in the title block or below the drawing number).
6. Save the changes and perform a regeneration (command: REGEN).

Expected result: The support number (SuNo) is now automatically read from the drawing properties and displayed in the title block.

Important notes

• Automation: Since SuCri automatically creates the SuNo property every time a drawing is created, no manual maintenance of the value in the metadata is required.
• Best practice: Integrate this field directly into your project template (DWT). This ensures that the support number appears in the title block immediately for every future drawing without manual intervention.
• Consistency: Use the SuNo property consistently to ensure a unique assignment between the technical drawing and the SuCri data record.

Troubleshooting

• Field is displayed as "####": This often means that the drawing has not yet been saved or that the SuNo property does not yet exist in this particular document. Check in the drawing properties whether the entry exists.
• Number does not update: Use the command REA (regenerate all) to update the field values in the display.
