I'm looking to have this note with 3 editable variables streamlined for multiple uses throughout the same drawing:
(sewer/gas/water would be the third)
I would like to be able to easily edit just those parts of the text in the block properties for easy repeated use in multiple scenarios with different values.
I've tried making the attributes separately and placing them over empty spaces in the MText, but I need the words after the field to move with the input. I.e. the space needed to fit #1(SLOW LANE) is less than the space needed for #15(SLOW LANE). The text ends up overlapping, making this method unusable for mid sentence input.
The reason it looks like I succeeded in inserting some fields is because I created attributes on a non plotting layer and inserted fields in the mtext linking to those objects>attribute definition(selected attribute)>value. However, this value is does not change outside of the block editor. It's always the default value of the attribute set from within the block editor and doesn't change based on the value outside the editor.
Is there any way to get this to work?
I understand this may not even be possible but if anyone has any insight here, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance.
