Graphite Plug-in for Spotlight
This Spotlight plug-in extracts information from Ashlar-Vellum Graphite files and places the information in Apple's Spotlight metadata store. Once stored, Spotlight and the various OS X Tiger applications can use the extracted information for fast file searches.
Graphite is Ashlar-Vellum's precision drafting software featuring the world-renown Vellum(R) user-interface.
Within Spotlight, the file "kind" for all Graphite v6 and v7 files is document. Keywords for extracted metadata are:
- Text
- Creator:
(always "Ashlar-Vellum Graphite")
- Authors:
(1st entry, who created the file)
(2nd entry, who modified it last)
- Organizations:
(1st entry, who created the file)
(2nd entry, who modified it last)
- Layers
- Symbols
- Work Planes
- View Orientations
- Sheets
- Models
- Views:

The Spotlight plug-in extracts all the text in a Graphite file and places it in a block for easy searching. This is analogous to body text in an email or text document.
Other keywords may be available on Graphite files. Spotlight handles these keywords, and the metadata they show, for the documents on your computer.
