You can just as easily have a script that goes through
every drawing and inserts the field into the attribute.
So, you still have to do the analytical part of associating
the blocks and polygons, but can still take advantage of
fields, and eliminate the need to repeat the process again.
However, if you are new to .NET and C#, then this isn't
going to be simple or straightforward. If you really need
something like this done and it's going to save you from
a lot of manual work, then rather than spend the year or
two that you would need to be able to use .NET/C# to
get the job done, It may pay for you to hire someone that
already has the ability to do the job quickly.

We've got 40,000 blocks and polygons and don't want to have to go into every
drawing and edit them.
What I'd like to have is a script that goes through every drawing, calculating
the areas and updating the blocks.
