attribute modification

[darryl.m.bowen]

block name 

REV_DESC

tags

REVNO1, DATE1, DESC1, CAD1, CHKD1,APVD1

Each attribute has a unique tag, just change the 1 to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Want to be able to have a lisp that will be able to fill in the revision data with some preset information and inputed data.

example lisp name/command "REVA" will be for the tags ending in 1

Revno1 = A

Date1 = get current date

Desc1 = inputed by me

Cad1 = DMB

Chkd1 = ROB

Apvd1 = PM

lisp/command "REVB"

Revno2 = B

Date2 = get current date

Desc2 = inputed by me

Cad2 = DMB

Chkd2 = ROB

Apvd2 = PM

Now the fun part I would also like it to change the Revison number in another block at the same time to match the current revison command from above.  So if I run REVE the drawing revision in the title block will also update.

that block name is SBC_TITLE

and the tag name is REVNO

thank you.
