What does it look like in the block editor through project setup?  Usually if you want to acquire from another drawing you need to make sure that the acquired data in the attribute in the block has an equals sign #(=drawing.number) or something like that based on your setup.

Hi George,
thank you for your reply.
My standard, predefined OPC had attribute
#(TargetObject.ConnectorNumber)
which didn't acquire the number from the connected line connector.
As per your suggestion, I have changed it to
#(=TargetObject.ConnectorNumber)
and now it acquires the number.
Thanks again,
cheers
