7.6.4. How can I display the SuNo as a property in 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 and stored in the drawing properties during the generation of drawings. In this guide, you will learn how to permanently integrate this information into your title block to optimize the presentation of your drawings and ensure the uniqueness of the documents.

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 Instructions

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 editor for your title block (for example, by double-clicking the block or editing the attribute definition).
3. Navigate to the location in the title block where the number should appear and add a new Field.
4. Select the following path in the dialog window:
   Menu: Insert → Field → Drawing Properties → SuNo
5. Place the field at the desired position (e.g., in the title block or under 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 generates the SuNo property every time a drawing is created, no manual maintenance of the value in the metadata is required.
• Best Practice: Embed this field directly into your Project Template (DWT). This ensures that the Support Number appears immediately in the title block for every future drawing without manual intervention.
• Consistency: Use the SuNo property consistently to guarantee a unique correlation 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 the SuNo property does not yet exist in this specific document. Check the Drawing Properties to see if the entry is present.
• Number does not update: Use the command REA (Regen All) to update the field values in the display.
