Dual attributes

Hello,

 

I'm trying to create a block which has an attribute. 

It is a simple horizontal line with on both ends text that says "height +0". Both pieces of text need to become part of the same attribute so that when I want to change the value of "height +0" to "height +1"I only need to change it once and both pieces of text will change to the new value.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I'm not absolutely sure, but this seems impossible in AutoCAD.
In AutoCAD for Windows you can use FIELDS inside blocks to populate attributes values automatically with the value of the attribute of special "MASTER" block:

But in AutoCAD for Mac there is a bug in FIELDS functionality which prevents using of this trick.
