Reintroduce the command AFV (select Asset Text Fields)
Since the very first version of the Smart Client Extensions for AutoCAD the command AFV is no longer available.
AFV is a function that allows the AutoCAD designer to choose which Asset fields to show when performing a catalog layer.
As this function is used from within AutoCAD it gives the user the flexibility to temporarily change the assets texts in specific drawings.
The Smart Client Extenions for AutoCAD does include a global setting per Asset called Set Asset Text Visibility.
To change the visible asset text users will have to use the System Administration / ARCHIBUS System Administration / CAD Manager / Set Asset Text Visibility task. Changes to the asset text visibility setting is not instantly applied as asset type definitions are cached by the product. The Web Central service must be restarted before changes made to asset text visibility will go into effect.

We are looking into allowing modifying the Web Central view System Administration / ARCHIBUS System Administration / CAD Manager / Set Asset Text Visibility to allow setting asset text visibility without having to restart the application server.
The effort and risk is not trivial, so there is no estimate on when this would be available. -

A workaround is the query text method AFM_QUERYTEXT that allows the user to generate custom query texts :
