Cross-Reference Format

Defines the cross-reference annotation format. One replaceable parameter, %N, must always be part of the cross-reference format string. A typical format string might be just the %N parameter. Use the upper section for on-drawing references and the bottom section for off-drawing references. You can use the same format for both. Note: If your format includes the sheet number %S parameter or the drawing number %D parameter, enter the values in the edit boxes in Sheet Values section of the Drawing Properties Drawing Settings dialog box.
