Mutli Tab Drawing Title Block Update Routine

[S.T.123]

Hi,

I'm currently working on a single tab drawing based project but would like to switch over to multi tabbed drawings. 

Though currently the csv based drawing register I am using for title block updates doesn't have the functionality to work across multilpe tabs. 

I've previously worked with a company that had a drawing register and routine that worked across multiple tabs and would like to reproduce something similar. Basically the routine worked by reading a text file which was placed in the same location as the drawing files and contained a link to the excel spreadsheet register. From that point it would search the register for the drawing file(s) the routine had been told to run over, locate the layout tab name for the drawing file and then update the titleblock attributes to match the data in the register. I believe it was a VBA routine.

Unfortunately I do not know enough about VBA or coding to create a similar routine and hence am hoping someone here can potentially give me some advice or point me in the right direction. Surely this is not a unique problem and has been solved many times in the past. 

Some screen shots to help give an idea how the multi tab routine worked;

Maybe you can find use of our JTB BatchAttEdit app or we can help you create something custom to fit your exact needs.

Depending on how you are wanting to manage your drawings and information the built in Sheet Set Manager may be a good tool for you to check out. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/AutoC...

In the sheet set manager it allows you to easily access drawing data from the Sheet Set Manager Palette. If your Titleblocks are drivin by fields all the relevant design iteration can be manager there. You can also add custom properties in the sheet data to match your exact needs. There are also tools such as sheet set table which will allow you to enter all that data into a table in a drawing with the click of a few buttons. There are also publishing tools. Id give it a look if you are looking into a multi sheet drawing.

Attach an example of your dwg file

I've attached a very basic drawing set up with multiple layout tabs and the title blocks set up how in a way I have worked in the past. Each tab contains a Title block and a bunch off attributed text which would be what the routine would update if I can figure out how to create the routine. 

I've manually filled in part of the attributes on tab 0001 but the others have been left blank.

Thanks. I will look into the app and get back to you

Thank you! I will look into the Sheet Set Manager and see if it is what I'm looking for.

Actually I believe I've found a solution using 12d Synergy.
