QR Code on CAMduct Label

Q:     How can I embed a STRATUS QR Code on CAMduct labels. 

A:     To print CAMduct labels with a STRATUS QR code:

1. In STRATUS under Admin > Company > Settings, enter a custom field name for the Property to Map to QR Code setting under the Common to AutoCAD and Revit section (Ex. QR Code).
   
   
   
   
2. In Fabrication, add a custom data field, with the exact same spelling as the STRATUS Property to Map to QR Code, under Edit Main Database > Takeoff > Custom Data (Ex. QR Code).
   
   
   
   
3. In CAMduct, under File > Print Layout > Labels, you can create a new label. In this example, click/drag the Item Custom Data Field onto your label.
   
   
   
   
4. In CAMduct, under Object Properties:
   1. Set the Data to the name / index # for the Custom Data field created in Fabrication above (Ex. QR Code).
      
      
      
      
   2. Set Font to QR Code.
      
      
      
      
5. A QR code example will display on the label.
   
   
   
   
6. Before you can preview the QR code, open a CADmep drawing that has been published to STRATUS. Click the Import button on the GTP STRATUS add-in to assign the STRATUS Property to Map to QR Code to each part’s CADmep Custom Data field defined above.
   
   
7. Go to the CAMduct Print Preview and select the label.  A preview similar to the following will display. The QR Code is linked to STRATUS. You can scan the QR code to update tracking status or view a STRATUS landing page will display where you can view the part in the model.
   
   
   
   

Q:     How can I use the MAJ directly from STRATUS? 

A:     The QR Code is written to the External  Link field on the Item at position 1 when the MAJ is generated. Using this requires setting up the Label in a slightly different way where the External Link field is used and set the Data Index to 1.
