Hello;

I Have a new version of autocad 2024 recently; i have a library made of my own in autocad 2017 with drawings linked with a table with mesurments; if i stretch, the mesurments change in the table; however in the new version 2024 when i stretch; the measurments stay the same; does anywone have an idee?

Ensure that the fields used in the table cells are set to update automatically. Fields are placeholders in AutoCAD that display data, and they need to be set to update automatically.
Check the properties of the cells containing measurements in your table, and verify that the field update setting is set to automatic

Upload CAD File please for references...............

It works; but when i make it a Wblock and insert it again it doesnt work anymore;

Do you have an idee with variable or adjustment it could be?

Jayhar;

I tested somethings between the version 2017 and 2024; I'm sure the problem lies in the insertion of the block not the Wblock; the block made in wblock 2024 version works after "insert" in 2017 but not in the 2024 version.

It works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

apparently they changed the command Insert in 2019 but it can be restored to the classic insert command
