The app consists of two modules:

• The administrator module, where the project administrator may configure the project and predefine drawing data in the drawing data table.
• The general AutoCAD module, which mostly works in the background and collects and handles drawing data as attribute values in one or more project title blocks

The administrator module handles all the needed project data and holds all the drawing data. Data is saved in an XML database file, always named project.dlmdb

The project administrator uses the administrator module to ...

Define general project data such as which title blocks to use, which attribute tags to handle inside the title blocks, and which Excel document to eventually contain the public drawing list.

Define drawing data in the drawings data table.

Please note!
When a DLM project is open in the administrator module and a user saves an AutoCAD document at the same time, the database may be updated without the administrator module being updated in parallel!
If the administrator then saves the project data, the administrator version will take effect, and updates made from AutoCAD while the project was open in the administrator module will be overwritten!

In the AutoCAD module, the users may decide when to let the app update drawing title block data.
Automatically read the central DLM project data file and update when opening a drawing (database to drawing) and saving a drawing (drawing to the database).
