Here is one that's stumping me...
I have a need for another piece of data to appear on my drawing when an item is dragged over from my data matrix. When designing a fire alarm system (for example) I need to have a unique 3 digit address for some items such as smoke detectors etc. This is a part of programming most panels. I've been using a custom property (CustomProperty1) in my data matrix and assigning a 3 digit address to these items. This works out well for reports and walk through labels etc., but I'd like to have this item appear below the ComponentID on my drawing when the item is dragged onto the page. I'm pretty good at editing my shapes when I need to customize, but this one has me stumped.

Any help appreciated.

You can do this with 5.5 Sp1 (version 5.5.378).
