Determine what the attribute field is referencing

[Anonymous]

I have inherited a project that has a block with attributes to fill out the titleblock information. Many of the attributes are fields.

Since I didn't assemble this block (or the sheet set) I don't know where the fields are pulling their information from. I know that some of the fields are reference information in the sheet set manager but some I'm not sure. Is there a way to find where the information is being pulled from?

One of the fields is for the rev. numbers, some are filled in and the blanks rev number's fields contains "%%," is that representative of something?

Also, there are many sheet sets for a larger project, is there potential for information to be pulled from a larger "project" of some sort.

Hello

I suggest the following: edit the block with BEDIT and then double click on the attribute definition which you would like to investigate. You should get a window called "Edit Attribute Definition". There you can see grey #### mark of attribute, 

Click on ... next to it and double click on #### to open FIELD dialog box. You can check that dialog, it is written in macro form how exactly is value calculated. Hope it helps.

One more question, you are registered in forums since 2012 and this is your first post?

Have fun

Was the original project in base Autocad or one of the verticals?  ACA has 'project navigator' with the ability to create custom fields for the project.  Base Autocad has 'sheet set manager, which I believe also has similar capability.

madrad,

jdvillarreal posted a lisp that zooms to the source object that a field references.
