Before you assign project data to objects in a drawing, you need to know what information you want to display. By default, Corel DESIGNER creates multiple data fields including: Name, Cost, and Comments. These fields can be edited or deleted as required.
Corel DESIGNER also provides common ActiveCGM, WebCGM, and WebCGM S1000D fields. When you import or export CGM files, the object data is maintained. For more information on importing and exporting CGM files, see Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM).
Object data is also maintained when you import or export SVG files. For more information on importing and exporting SVG files, see Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
You can create and assign as many data fields as you want, as long as they use permitted format variables. For more information about assigning data fields, see Managing object data. In addition, you can add a child field to an existing field to create a hierarchical structure. However, the field you choose must support the creation of a child field.
At any time, you can change the setting, such as the name or format, of a data field.
If you require custom fields, you can define their formats using four basic field formats: General, Date/time, Linear/angular, and Numeric. Each of these formats provides a series of common settings. If the preset formats in Corel DESIGNER don’t provide the information you want in your data summary, you can create your own custom formats using the variables available for the format type you’re using. The field format you select is used for all objects in the active drawing.
When you delete a field, you also delete all data entered for that field in the active document and any children that are associated with the field.
