@Darin.Green Thank you for the video! Fields work briliant in that case when they are directly in the drawing. My case is that i want to have fields not in the drawing but in xref drawing which i use for Head table.

@john.vellek Thank you for the response, now i will upload one example of what i am trying to do.

Reconstruction.dst is my sheet set file, I have 3 sheets there from 2 drawings - "Situ_Nadl_sev.dwg" and "Podr_sev.dwg". Third drawing "Antetka ok.dwg" is my Head table with all my fields and some text which i want to be normal Text objects. 

 

First I made my drawings and layouts, then i made my head table with all the fields i need which i insert in layouts of the drawings as xref and in the end i made the sheet set where i put all the layouts from "Import layouts as sheet" command.

Problem comes when i change some entities in sheet set but nothing changes in xref1.JPG

, only way to regen all the information is to open the drawing, then start command "edit reference in place" and type regen2.png

This is working, but if i have more drawings it is the same as using texts and opening all the drawings and retyping it.. I also tried to plot sheets, but they remain old dated (if i haven't regen all the references in place). I will upload the .pdf plot file i've got with old information.

I am using xref table head because in our office we often add some new things in the table head at the end of the project like "Checked by" or we have to add new logo of the owner or something like that. We are also using different table heads for different projects (which is very bad i know) but that is the case here and i can't change it. Xref is working great for us because of those things, but i want to automatize the process of numbering the drawings and changing the names of designers.

 

The second problem i have is plotting. I found the way to publish my project to PDF but i have trouble to set different plot styles (.ctb) files for different drawings ( I think that if i have nothing selected in the drawings and in properties at plot style i can choose .ctb it should plot plot drawings correctly). Other thing is that i can't plot the sheets on my printers i want for example sheet "Layout and longitudinal profile" to be plotted with .acad .ctb on my HP plotter (Iso A2 format) and sheets "Cross sections" to be printed with .monochrome .ctb on my Konica Minolta printer (Iso A3 format).
