Hi
I was just wondering, if any body uses Object data manager. I have tried using it. But very less.
IMO, this data can be used externally for invoicing (Job billing) purpose. Your opinions please.
Does any body use it for job tracking or any other purpose ?
Regards
Anand
Yeah. Not editable in UI. Apart from trying it to use it externally, I tried figuring out the ways to use it. I haven't yet found any. But feel if reworked, can be useful for maintaining customised data related to jobwork, clients, job tracking, invoicing etc.
Hi Anand,
From what Foster told me, this feature was added specifically for one major customer's need's many years ago. Maybe in Version 3?

I've never been real clear what the Object Data Mgr served either. What could be a real asset is a section like the "from New Template" that would maintain client and project specs linked to that design. In an another post I suggested as a make-shift approach you can add a layer to keep info on and then make it non-printable/invisible, but it would be nice to actually have more of a form that would insert some of the information from the design into categories - ideally customizable.

Heh, I'm just trying to entice more women to this forum.

Apart from having half the default fields in German, I can only really see this of any use if it was part of the "Symbols"/"Symbol manager"... unless you could link fields to a specific object property (like width, height, position on page, in a group, fill, outline, number of nodes, special shape type, length, enclosing area, page it's on... etc) then you have a quick and easy customisable 'properties' page that you can see at a glance the information you want.
A method to sort/filter on these fields would be one of the major things I think is missing. Exporting the data to a XLS or even CSV would be nice as well. (instead of the "open spreadsheet" option)
