Meta-Data of Dynamic Block into Title Block

Hi,

Is it possible to broadcast meta-data of an AutoCAD block (dynamic or non-dynamic) into a title block?

I work with numerous ACAD blocks and need a faster turnaround.  Can anyone share a recommended procedure?

You can use fields to reference attributes inside blocks but they will have to be setup manually so that's probably not what you need.
I think a LISP solution would work better here but you'd have to describe your situation in more detail.

Hi.

If I drawn an AutoCAD block - say a cellphone for example.

Brand:  Apple

Model: IPhone 8

Colour: Black

Dimensions: 1350mm x 650mm x 100mm

Location: Sydney, Australia

Can this AutoCAD block, with meta-data attached to it then broadcast this meta-data into a title block?

Yes this is entirely possible if that meta-data is made out of attributes.
You will need a custom LISP command and custom title block.
