1Overview
ADACEdit opens the attribute workflow for a supported asset selection. infrADAC ACAD and infrADAC BCAD also provide the searchable ADACXData viewer. infrADAC DCAD collects one native infrADAC element through a pre-launch 12d output window pick and updates that exact model and element UID; its DWG XData and property block viewers are not available.
Correcting values, diagnosing an audit issue or confirming the data attached to geometry.
2Inspect first, then edit
Confirm identity and group scope before changing profile-controlled values.
Choose edit or inspect
Use the inspection route available for the active product.
- infrADAC ACAD and infrADAC BCAD: run
ADACXDatato inspect without editing orADACEditto change values. - infrADAC DCAD: run
ADACEdit, then pick one native infrADAC element when prompted. - Do not expect infrADAC DCAD to consume a selection owned by another 12d option.
Review identity and scope
Confirm the selected object resolves to the expected asset.
- Check Asset type, ADACId and geometry context.
- infrADAC ACAD and infrADAC BCAD: expand the XData applications and use Search to locate a field.
- infrADAC DCAD: review the exact native element's values in the Edit form; Annotation and Dimension are replace-only.
Edit and save allowed values
The active schema controls the form.
- Change editable global/specific values.
- Keep required values and valid types.
- Manage supporting files through their upload/remove controls.
- Select Save.
3Edit and inspection scope
The two commands share selection context but have different risk and purpose.
| Feature or choice | Current behaviour |
|---|---|
| Selection resolution | Property blocks and group members can resolve back to their associated asset object.Users can edit from visible labels without losing asset scope. |
| Group consistency | A multi-entity group must share valid grouping data before one edit form is used.Mixed or invalid selections are rejected instead of merged incorrectly. |
| XData viewer | Shows all regapp data in a searchable tree and excludes selected non-assets from the summary.Support can see exact stored values without a raw extraction command. |
| infrADAC DCAD edit | After ADACEdit starts, the 12d macro prompts for one native infrADAC element and returns its exact model/element UID to the host form.The host does not claim access to another option's private CAD Multipick set. |
4Before you begin
- Identify the intended asset; infrADAC ACAD and infrADAC BCAD can use a preselection, while infrADAC DCAD opens its own native pick.
- Use the same profile that created or will audit the asset.
- Save the active design before broad edits.
5Product differences
Preselection and property block resolution operate on AutoCAD ObjectIds.
The same workflow resolves BricsCAD/Teigha entities and groups.
ADACEdit collects one native infrADAC element through the pre-launch 12d output window pick, then opens the form and updates that exact model and element UID. The DWG XData and block-attribute viewers are not available; Annotation and Dimension enhancements must be removed and recreated.
6Troubleshooting
The selected object is not recognised as an asset
Select the actual asset geometry. infrADAC ACAD and infrADAC BCAD can also resolve an associated property block or use ADACFind; infrADAC DCAD requires one native element already carrying infrADAC identity.
A group selection is rejected
Ensure every member belongs to one consistent GroupGUID and asset definition. Repair or regenerate the group rather than forcing a mixed edit.
The visible DWG label still shows the old value
In infrADAC ACAD and infrADAC BCAD, run ADACRefreshAttributes. If the block is missing or structurally damaged, use ADACRecreateAttributes. infrADAC DCAD has no attribute-block workflow.
