Drawing Descriptio ns: Maximum of 3 Lines?

With certain customers we must show their titleblock information as well as ours. Which for the drawing description means showing the three line desciption twice. But their are only three drawing description lines to use in the drawing properties form.
Is there anyway to address this? Can I give two different attributes the same name and have AE populate both of them with the same data?
Can I indicate tags DD4, DD5 & DD6 in the WDT file and modify the WDP file with additional drawing description lines? See example below:
===PLC CONTROL SYSTEM
===ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC
===SHEET 7
===PLC CONTROL SYSTEM
===ELECTRICAL SCHEMATIC
===SHEET 7

I hope someone understands what I'm asking. Thanks ahead of time.

As long as the blocks are defined the same they will show the same results. If both your title blocks can display the information block the same but be in different locaitons then that should work.

Try pointing the attributes from their block to the same datapoints as your attributes use.
for example...
Your description line 1 = DD1
Your description line 2 = DD2
Your description line 3 = DD3
Their Description Line 1 = DD1
Their Description Line 2 = DD2
Their Description Line 3 = DD3
And so on for any other data they need duplicated...
