It is common practice in industry to assign an identifier or "brass tag" to a corporate asset. Inventor Factory provides the ability to assign such a tag using the Asset Tag command. An asset tag is applied to a published asset or an imported model/assembly after it has been placed into a 3D factory layout.
Inventor Factory also provides the ability to add a descriptor using the Descriptor command when authoring and publishing an asset in the Asset Builder environment. A descriptor can contain additional information about an asset; such as type, part number, flow rate, etc.
Both asset tags and descriptors may contain multiple lines of text. Once a 3D layout is synced to AutoCAD Factory, these annotations appear as block attributes in a separate text style called Factory_Annotation. The asset tag and descriptor are each assigned their own separate AutoCAD layer. The layer names are Factory_AssetTag and Factory_Descriptor, respectively.
You can use the standard AutoCAD block attribute editing commands like EATTEDIT, -ATTEDIT, and BATTMAN. Control the visibility of the attributes using the ATTDISP command, or by turning layer visibility on/off or freezing the appropriate attribute layer. Use the FIND command to help you locate asset tag and descriptor text in the AutoCAD graphics window.
For more information about font, height, and placement options for asset annotations, see the AutoCAD Factory Help topic: Factory_Annotations.
