Creating an automatically updated drawing register from attributes properties in autocad table

Hi All

I was wondering if there is a way to link an attribute property for Drawing Name from my Border Block in the layout to a table inside AutoCAD? This will help me create an automatically updated table (to a degree) with latest drawing names, dates and revision numbers. Again, it will have some limitations, but should make things easier nonetheless. I think...

Do you use SheetSetManager (SSM) by chance? It has many of the features you seek, its built-in, ready for you to implement and use.

I use Sheet Sets, however I can't figure out a way to display previous revisions with the dates in it. Just the latest one.

How do you make document/track changes in your files today? For most of us this requires the user to "do something", or lots of somethings first, then document it/update it in SSM to track it.

Atm we don't really use SS for anything else other than creating a list of the drawings on the first page. I would like it to look like the attached image. With dates for revisions and number of revision. Is there a way of doing this with sheet sets?
