      A Field is a string of text that has been set up to display data that it gets from another source. For example, you may create a field that will display the Circumference of a specific Circle within your drawing. If you changed the diameter of that Circle you could "update” the field and it would display the new Circumference.

      Fields can be used in many different ways. After you have read through the example below you will understand the steps required to create and update a Field. Then you should experiment with some of the other Field Categories to see if they would be useful to you. Consider adding Fields to a cell within a Table.

      Create a Field

      1. Draw a 2” [50.8 mm] Diameter Circle and place it anywhere in the drawing area.

img

      2. Select the “Insert” Tab / Data Panel / Field img

      3. Select the Field category; Objects

      4. Select the Field name; Object

      5. Select the Object Type button.

      6. Select the Circle that you just drew.

      7. Select the property; Circumference.

      8. Select the Format; Decimal.

      9. Select OK.
