AutoCAD dynamic blocks

[Anonymous]

Good morning

I have created a dynamic block with a lookup table showing dimension details, I want to display a label with the selected dimension in the drawing that will update when I select a different dimension. Can anyone suggest a simple way of doing this please? Gillian

You can display info like that with a block attribute. When making the attribute set the default value as a field. (rt-click, inset field)  Fields can access info from many things within a block.

Post the block and tell/show us what you want it to be like.

Thank you for that, is is most helpful, I had inserted a field to pick up the value from the lookup table but I had to regen to get it to update. I shall try your approach
