Attaching Records

This command attaches the selected record format to all of the symbol definitions in a specified symbol folder.

To attach a record:

1.	Select Tools > Records > Attach Record.

The Attach Record dialog box opens.

2.	From the Symbol Folder list, select the criteria for attaching a record.

Select None to attach the record to the symbol definition(s) at the root of the symbol library (symbol definitions not in any folder). Select All to attach the record format to all of the symbol definition(s) in the file’s symbol library. Selecting a symbol folder changes all of the symbol definitions only in that folder and any sub-folders.

3.	From the Record Format list, select one of the record formats defined in the current file to be attached to the selected symbol definition(s).

4.

Click OK.

Confirm the operation and the number of symbol definitions affected.

Symbol instances already on the drawing are not affected.

5.

Click OK.

To quickly verify that a record has been attached to the symbol library, create a report. See Creating Reports.
