DYNAMIC BLOCK ON THE LAYOUT

[Anonymous]

Hi! 

I made a dynamic block that changes the name of the Engineer and the number of the crea among the registered options. I would like to know if there is a way to link this block in the stamp of all the layouts created so that if I change the option from João to Maria in one layout he will update the rest.

What you want to do is create a Sheet Set, and either use the default properties there or create your own custom ones. Once you import a layout into a sheet set (import's probably the wrong word for it... more like create a link), you can use a field to look for the property stored in the sheet set. This will make that text dynamically update based on what value you put into the sheet set.

This is a good place to start as any I guess: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/AutoC...

I'm sure there are many Youtube videos on it as well.

As @jae.kwon  said Sheet sets are really good for names and and dates and what not. IMHO stamps and logos are better handled with layer states.

You can chain actions together in the dyno but the stamp and the crea along with the consultant logos would all want to be together in one block. Probably increasing the number of viz states. lookups etc..

Once you get that all tied in a nice bundle, you use qselect to grab all the block on all the layouts by filtering entire drwing by block reference name, the change the viz state/ lookup in the properties palette. (record that macro)

or you can change the layer state. See what I mean.
