Automating Text Editing in AutoCAD Based on Xref Axis Distance

Good afternoon esteemed. I work as a draftsman in the road safety department, and I aim to automate or optimize my work in AutoCAD. The task at hand involves copying a text and editing it according to the accumulated distance obtained from the visualization of an xref, in this case, an axis. What I want is to create or know of a method to create a dynamic text block that retrieves the DM directly from the axis without having to do it manually, which leads to errors and consumes a lot of time. I am a relatively new user of AutoCAD. I attach reference images of the material I use in my work. Thank you in advance.

Use fields within attributes.

 

If you want the modelspace coordinates displayed, then use block position fields.  If you want block parameter values displayed, then use blockplaceholder fields.
