Set or change the values you want to use for the Excel template-based ISO 19650-2 BIM file naming fields.
These are the values that will be used when saving a new drawing with the “System Settings -> Drawing Loading / Saving -> Create BIM standard filename for new drawings” option enabled.
When Plot Generating to separate drawings, these values will also be used in the published drawings' filenames if you have enabled the Use BIM naming standard filenames option in the parent Plot Setup dialog. The first published layout’s filename will use the value in the Number field, and this number will be incremented for subsequent published layouts.
If the sheetfile used contains global titles or plan titles with “BIM variable text” (ie: “{BIM_XXXX}”), then plot generate will replace these variables with the field values you specify in this dialog. For example: “{BIM_REVISION}” will be replaced by the “R01” value entered in the “Revision” field in the dialog above.
The “Number” field is incremented for each layout generated.
A special sheetfile global text “BIM variable” is “{BIM_FILE_NAME}”, which will be replaced by the name of the file generated using the BIM fields.
These values will also be used in the published drawings' filenames if you have enabled the Use BIM naming standard filenames option in the parent Plot Setup dialog.
