An Interesting Use of the Object Data Manager
The Object Data Manager is one of those features that has been incredibly useful to a small percentage of users while being ignored by the vast majority. I'm sure that one reason it isn't used more often is that users just haven't found a way it should be used. So today I'm going to show you one way that a developer is using it to create interactive data on a cemetery. Follow the link and then click on the icon in the lower right corner of the page to see an example screen shot. As someone clicks on a lot number on the map of a cemetery, detailed data on that lot are provided in the Object Data Manager Docker.
Now I don't expect that most of you will be doing maps of a cemetery. But try to brainstorm about what else you might draw that would become even more useful if objects had data stored about them. I'm hoping this will inspire more of you to use the feature and I'd be thrilled if you would post a comment and tell us all about it.
