To Automatically Attach Property Set Definitions to Objects, Styles, and Definitions

Automatically attach property set definition data to AEC objects.

Use this procedure to attach property set data to objects that you want to include in a schedule table or link to schedule tags.

You attach property set data to objects by attaching one or more property sets, defined by a property set definition. After property sets are attached, the values for automatic properties are determined from the object, and you can enter values for the manual properties.

1. Click Options.
2. Click the AEC Object Settings tab.
   
3. Select Automatically Attach under AEC Property Set Definitions.
4. Click Apply and OK.
   Tip: Alternatively, you can set automatically attach property set definition data to objects on the command line by entering AECPSDAUTOATTACH.

Note: Setting the AECPSDAUTOATTACH and AECXREFPSDAUTOATTACH system variables to ON may cause a delay when attaching a large drawing as an xref to a host drawing with multiple property set definitions. To avoid this delay, set the AECXREFPSDAUTOATTACH system variable to OFF.
