I'm further developing our template and would lke to know how much trouble it would be (if any) to be prompted for several block attributes upon a new file being created (QNEW). The information in these blocks is found throughout the .dwg file and I'd like to reduce the amount of time going through each instance to modify (something that should have been done a long time ago).
Thanks!

You could add some code to ACADDOC.LSP that would check the file name. If it's Drawing*, prompt for attribute information, if the name is something else, it means this is not a new drawing, don't ask.
(if (=(substr(getvar "DWGNAME")1 7) "Drawing")
(progn
(ask for attributre info and fill in the blocks)
);end progn
);end if
