Fields palette
Permit templates carry hundreds of fillable text attributes spread across a dozen blocks. The Fields tab collects all of them — every model-space DWG_* attribute-bearing block — into one form, so filling in or correcting values is a search box and a keystroke instead of a hunt across the sheet.
Open it with DT_FIELDS or the ribbon toggle .
Finding a field
One filter box searches everything at once — the attribute's tag, its label, and its current value. Type several words to narrow (customer name, main breaker); the list keeps its order while filtering, so fields never jump around under your cursor. Fields appear in each block's defined order — the same order the template author laid them out.
- ⤢ on a row opens a larger editor for long or multi-line values.
- Pick on canvas jumps the form to whichever block you click in the drawing.
Editing
Editing is commit-per-field — there's no Save button:
- Enter saves the field and moves to the next one.
- Tab or clicking elsewhere saves too.
- Esc reverts the field to what's in the drawing.
- Every save is one undo step — Ctrl+Z in AutoCAD reverts exactly one field change.
- After each save the form re-reads the drawing and shows what's actually there.
The punch-list toggle
Empty only filters the form down to fields that still have no value — your end-of-job checklist. Filled counts per block show how far along each one is.
Fields the project data manages
Fields that LOAD_DT fills from the project's design data carry a badge. You can still edit them by hand — the plugin records that you did, so a later DT_RESYNC can warn before overwriting a hand-edited value instead of silently clobbering it.
Prerequisites
An open drawing — no sign-in needed. The project-managed badges need the data-mapping bundle, which the plugin keeps cached after any LOAD_DT.
