Say I have a model tab that has 10 different drawings in it with 10 "title block" blocks. The "title block" block has multiple attributes in it, most of which are different for each of the 10 drawings. But say I want the date attribute, for example, to be the same in every title block. How would I tie them all together?
Thanks.
ETA: the only way I can currently see to do it is to hardcode the date into the "title block" block. I feel like there must be a more powerful way, though.
¡Resuelto! Ir a solución.

FIELDs fill in the automated/automatable entries too, if and when applicable.
Your "hardcode" method is similar, but limits the titleblock to one DWG file, not many DWG files for a single project.

One way is: Select your blockreferences and change the Value in your properties palette (ctrl+1)

Sheet Set Manager works across multiple file and sets all attributes the same and allows changing for individual sheets as well as attributes for individual sheets with everything handles without opening files. It does require using paper spaces for your sheet layouts.

Another way, not mentioned is to add something like "revdate" to the custom tab of your dwgprops. Then use fields in your titleblocks to access that revdate. Sheetset manager and single xref approach are typically used though.

Some very helpful replies here, thanks!
One thing: I'm only concerned about working within one drawing file. It's good to know that I can network multiple files together, though.
What would be the simplest way to achieve what I want to achieve within the confines of a single file?
Thanks.

I guess what I am really asking is how to create a "global" (within a given file) attribute.
Does such an attribute type exist?
Thanks.

Wonder if FIND command is all you need to use with those blocks if they are attributes.

pendean,
FIND worked beautifully, thanks!
I never knew that command existed.
Is it absolutely foolproof for what I'm trying to do? No. But it's fine and I'm quite happy with it.
Thanks again for the help!

... how to create a "global" (within a given file) attribute.
In the DWGPROPS dialog, you can complete standard information and add custom name = value records. Then, anywhere in the drawing (including block attributes) you can reference those DWGPROPS values using FIELDS. When a change is needed you simply change the value in the DWGPROPS dialog, and a simple REGENALL will update all the fields that reference it.
