RKeesee,
The .WDT file is the way to go if you have numerous fields or multiple
blocks to update. It should support any of the project description lines. I
tried a few random ones above LINE24 and they worked ok for me. A couple of
things to check, make sure you have referenced the line in the .wdt file and
assigned it to a specific attribute on the block. For example, where CHKDBY
is the attribute name you would see a line in the .wdt file CHKDBY = LINE85.
Also, when you do the actual update make sure that the check box for LINE85
is checked on. You don't automatically get everything in the .wdt file
updated. It has to be specifically checked.
If none of this helps, let me know and I will look further,

More info.....
I have created a DEFAULT.wdt file thinking that it will help to eliminate my
problem b/c of not having a field length constraint. This gets me closer to
my goal, but now I am limited by the mapping function not working beyond
Line24 in the project description fields. I've gone back to the old
postings and sure enough there is a sentence in the Title Block Setup Help
page which states "..... = LINEx, where x is a project data line number
(LINE1 thru LINE24) ....."
Question, the project description dialog box is capable of holding several
thousand fields. Why would Autodesk limit the mapping capabilites to only
24 of them? Is there a better way to set up a revision block and which
centralizes it's information and appears on all pages of the drawing
package? I'm open to other alternatives.
