Manage Prototype Creep

As an alternative you can map source and data points into containers (for each source) and notes inside each container (for each data point related to the source) using the a procedure similar to discussed a previous forum discussion under this link.

You then follow the following steps as you do :

  • create source notes with the relevant information in attributes based a single generic “source prototype”
  • type datapoint notes at the main level and assign data point prototype
  • drag or move the datapoint into the relevant source container (typically in Map or Outline view)

The $OnAdd action for each prototype then takes care of copying all the relevant information from source to datapoint. I attach an example TB file below.SourceandPoints.tbx (60.3 KB)
