AutoCAD lisp titleblock update - Multiple files

zaibaa — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 00:40:04 GMT

Hi,

I have no background in coding, but I downloaded the attached Lee Mac lisp to update the Title blocks which works well with single files with all the tabs in one dwg. However with other files as part of the sheet set, I need to rerun the lisp in each individual drawing (which also consist of numerous tabs). Is there a way I can automate this to automatically update all the drawings?

@zaibaa ,

You might want to consider xreffing in your title block into all the project drawings, which is what we do where I work. In the xref we put the sheet title and sheet number on a NoPlot layer, then in each tab we need only to NCOPY the two pieces of text and change them to a YesPlot layer. I'm pretty sure that you can also automatically derive the values via Sheetset Manager.
