I am new to sheet sets and have followed Sheets Happen! I have set a up a sheet set template DST file. I have set up multipule dwt files and have assigned custom properties to the blocks and using a seperate title block that is being X-ref'd. My issue is when creating a new sheet set from my template for new clients the custom properties retains fields from the template sheet set. Also when I edit the block attributes to update the fields to reflect the correct sheet set the field still does not update. I have to use the enhanced attribute editor to get the field to update. I did follow sheets happen on this part, by making sure I added the fields using the text editor and filling the default text line. I have attached a snapshot showing both sheet sets being referenced.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? Please let me know if you need more information.
I have also tried deleting and pruging the block inforamation and then reinserting it. This provides another mystery; I still have to update the fields to reflect the correct sheet set. As I'm doing this I can see the fields update with the proper text from the custom properties. Upon exiting the block editor the attributes still show the default information and not the custom properties text.
P.s. If you have custom properties as fields you may as well define this field in mtext, no need to define these in an attribute.
Fields within an attribute can be a pain.
I will find out if changing the field text to mtext is viable. I believe this information is in the block and used with and extraction program.
