Title Block - Global Update

[djteresinski]

Been looking at this for a long time.  Trying to figure out how to update certain attributes (not all of them) to be copied from page to page to page.

I know XREF's can do this, though we don't deal with it right now, and with the people I deal with having multiple files set to them might confuse them, or they forget to send something, yada yada yada.  

The feature I see here in Revit seems to be thing I'm looking for.

Running AutoCAD 2014 currently.

Thanks

If you're not using Sheet Set Manager  to populate sheet and project information into your title block, you should really look into using that.  Makes you life a lot simpler when this kind of thing crops up.

Hello from France

Not sure to well understand your problem ?

Have you consider using "Custom Properties" of your DWG File and then use them as Fields for some Texts / Attributes ?

Thanks everyone.

Abubakars, thanks for that link, nice program.  Would be the simplest method for sure might use that in the interm depending on how well getting everything onto another standard.

JGerth, I know I've been looking some what into this, though get distracted and haven't progressed with it.  Wasn't sure if there was a simpler method which besides Abubakars I don't think there is.  Think this might be the route I will have to procced with for long term.

Braudpat, I've used this in the past and always seems to be finicy with updating properly.  I know it works well inside Inventor but AutoCAD for some reason it hasn't always played the best with me.  Its been a while, maybe things have changed.

Thanks!
