Display drawing "Sheet" property in title block

Hi,

I am using ACE 2009. I have a block that I insert into every drawing as a title block. This block has an attribute name "DWG" that I use to display the drawing number.

Until now, for every drawing in my project, I enter the drawing number into this DWG attribute on my title block. I also go to File | Drawing Properties and enter this same number into the Custom "Sheet" property.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way that I can have the DWG attribute in my title block automatically display this drawing "Sheet" property so I don't always have to enter this in two places?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Have you set up your title block?

If so, edit the title block setup to tie the Dwg Properties Sheet and Dwg No
values to the appropriate attributes in your title block.
If not, set up a sheet with your title block and all your normal settings,
then save it as a template.
Go to Project-Title Block Setup and select the DEFAULT.WDT option.
Go through the wizard that comes up. At the end of the wizard you will find
that your title block will automatically fill in all your project and dwg
settings
when you start a new drawing using your template (provided Title Block
Descriptions and Dwg Settings are filled in).

Regards Brad
