🧾 What it does
The UserDrawingNames.csv file controls how drawing templates appear in your print options list. It allows you to assign custom display names to your CAD and Word/Excel drawing templates, making them easier to identify and select during the drawing output process.
🔧 How the file structure works
The UserDrawingNames.csv file uses three columns to manage template names and drawing types:
Column | Purpose | Description |
Column A | Display Name | The name you want to see in the Print options list |
Column B | File Name | The actual template file name stored in the ..\User folder |
Column C | Drawing Code | Code number that tells the software what type of drawing it is |
🛠 How drawing codes work
For drawing output (as distinct from report output), Column C uses code numbers to automatically include the correct information in the drawing without requiring additional work when generating reports. The software uses these codes to determine what type of drawing template is being used and what information should be automatically populated.
💡 Key benefits
This system allows any template form to have any display name in the print options list, giving you full control over how templates are presented to users while maintaining the actual file structure in your ...\User folder.
⚠️ Important notes
The drawing code in Column C is essential for drawing output functionality. Without the correct code, the software may not automatically include the proper information in your generated drawings.
