Hi rosshall93,

I'm assuming you're getting the unsupported objects message when you try to insert this dwg into your Fusion drawing.  Is the geometry for the titleblock in model space?  Is it individual entities (this is required) or contained in a block?  Can you attach or send me (christopher.miller@autodesk.com) the dwg so I can take a look?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris , thanks for the quick reply.

ive now managed to get the title block into the drawing but the attributes are not working.

As requested see attached.

Hi rosshall93,

When I opened your drawing in AutoCAD and checked the attributes they were set to "Constant."  I turned that off and now when I insert the titleblock in a Fusion drawing and double-click it, I get the expected dialog with the fields to change the values.

We don't currently auto-populate attributes in titleblocks inserted from a DWG, but are working on a block editor where you will be able to edit your block geometry as well as add some of the more common attributes like scale, create date, etc. and these will auto-populate when used in your drawing.

Please let me know if this edited block works for you.

Thanks,
Chris
