Autotext Guide


It’s not part of GDL itself. Archicad will substitute all references to autotext fields in whatever GDL output it finds them.
For example, if you write <PROJECTSTATUS> in the parameter string of a text2 command, will nicely replace it with the actual value.
All this is invisible to GDL – consequently the size and other attributes of the text are not measurable.
