this is for plain autocad

 

go to properties on the attribute in block editor etc

 

change the attribute property multiline to  "yes"

 

click on the button on the right hand side to value in the properties menu

 

a menu will appear tittled text formatting

first item is insert Field

 

Select that button and the various fields will appear

or you could use Titleblock mapping...

and assign an attribute to the Drawings Filename value.

 

Make sure you go to the Drawing values section, the File name has 3 options. (with path and extension, with extenion, and just the name.)

I hope this helps,

It's accessed from the Projects tab.
Look for "titleblock setup". I don't rennet which panel it's on off the top of my head... And I'm not in front of my computer.
If you go to the big A you can type in " titleblock setup" in the search at the top and you should be able to find it.

I hope this helps,

Thanks.

Hey is there any way to make attributes match the file name and for attribute not to change when it's xfre into another file or the text you apply the code.

Is there a way to do the same procedure in order to show the paths the Xrefs as well?
