How can we set auto-text value <Author> in layout 2014 ?
-
Hi,
I'm new user of Sketchup Pro 2014 and Layout and I'm trying to compose a template for Layout. I would like to introduce in the form, the name of the author of the plan I'll transfer from Sketchup.
Can you tell me is there a way to set the value of the <author> field in the auto-text list ?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately it won't read the Author credited in the SketchUp file. It'll only insert the text as entered in the window as Rich showed. The only thing that appears to be readable from outside of LayOut is the system date. Maybe that would be a good feature to add, though.

Thanks a lot for your answer ! I appreciate !
I am not very proud of my question. I believe that I would have of to look deapest in the program before transmitting my question on the forum!
But again, thanks a lot!

No need to be embarrassed. There are a lot of things that might not be obvious at first.
Do spend some time poking around in menus and sub menus as well as the windows in the tray on the right side. You'll find there's a lot of options.
Don't hesitate to ask questions.
