Autocad - Editing custom properties for several drawings

[Ycteris]

Hello everyone!

For some time now I've been trying to find a way of simplifying and sppeding up the process of creating 2D documentaion at work. By now I've managed to find a lot of interesting solutions, but there's still something that's not quite clear to me yet.

For my template files I've defined several custom properties and I would like to be able to see and edit them at the same time from one place. What I'd like to accomplish is similar to a bill of materials table I've used in several 3D CAD applications. I would like to create a table in which I could see all of the custom properties as fields and which would be connected to their Autocad drawings so that by chaning the field value in the table it would also change in the original drawing (like a part/drawing property would in a 3D CAD application). Can something simmillar be accomplished through the bill of materials in Autocad, or maybe through sheets sets or an Excel-like 3rd party application?

Thanks for any suggestions you might have!
