You can create a custom plot stamp by the following steps. If you add texts starting with $ character, ARCHLine.XP will manage it as a parameter.
What does '$' char mean before parameter name?
'$' char before parameter name means parameter can be used to assign a value by user.
- Draw a rectangle with real 1:1 stamp size, e.g. 190 x 50mm.
- Draw the cells with line tool.
- You can place Project BIM parameters or your own custom parameter text starting with $ character. Later you can change the content that parameter displays when you place it from the library.
Select the following command: Documentation - Plot Layout - Create Plot Stamp - Variables
For example, add a field for the client name, project name, or architect. Select the fields from the list clicking on checkbox.
Parallel you can add any text starting with $ character you want to change the content when you place the stamp from the library. - Add regular texts, bitmap as company logo, etc. and other element you wish to keep constantly.
- Save it as a new group.

-
- Choose “Create group in library” command from the menu “Drafting– Group”.
