Mandatory Std-Annotation Block auto-adding restriction
When opening the dialog, Std-Annotation blocks, that are set to be mandatory within a Std-Annotation Set, are auto-added to the list of already selected blocks. For example:
This happens only true if the Set was already created on the drawing/model.
New options were introduced that allow to peg this behavior to the value of a specific parameter:
  • auto_add_mandatory_block_restriction_param_name: Define the parameter name
  • auto_add_mandatory_block_restriction_param_rule: Define a regular expression that is checked against the parameter value
If these options are used and the referenced parameter exists, then the automatic adding of blocks is only done, if the parameter value matches the regular expression rule.
By default, the options are empty what leads to the same behavior as so far.
What is the benefit of this enhancement?
  1. The auto-adding can be limited to specific lifecycle states of the drawing/model for instance.
