Attribute question

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have been brainstorming of ways to make our drawing formats easier to use. And I have a question about if it's possible to link attributes together. For example, I'm making a template for drafting to use for all new drawings. In this drawing I have 10 layout tabs set up and all have the proper drawing format attached to it, and I have attribute blocks set up to make filling out information easier. And in many cases the information (i.e. drawing number, scale and project code) is the same on all sheets. So, is it possible to have the first attribute be the main one and have all the others reference it so you don't have to fill out the same info over and over?

you could edit one then run a lisp routine to update the others.

Hmmm, can that be set up ahead of time or would I have to do that every time I use it?

Instead of trying to keep Attribute values in sync. I take another approach. With a Dialog, gather title-block info, save to a text file. Lisp can read-in this file, apply to further instances of same title-block. Later, if changed, a search/replace batch can keep all in sync.

If the source values are there, the routine can be run on dwg open.

Another thing you can do is to create a lisp that changes them all at once.
