Title block issue

[bengee5454]

I'm hoping someone can see whats wrong - I have created a custom title block in AutoCAD. In the block I have a number of attributes - the usual NAME, DRAWING NUMBER etc. This all works.

I also created attributes for the tolerances - this is where the issue is.

If I import the title block into Fusion and double click, I can amend all the atttributes.....except for the tolerance at 2 decimal places [2DP_PREC]. 

If i type in a tolerance of 123 (not a real tolerance!) for example, t will display in the title block. However if I enter 0.50 nothing displays!

The tolerance at 1 d.p. works fine, i created the 2.d.p. tolerance in exactly the same way. I just can't see what wrong!

Drawing attached.

Also, is there any way of automating the page numbering?

Hi bengee5454,

This looks like a bug.  If you look closely, after entering the valid value (0.50) the entered text is there, it's just sqashed down to a single line.  We have some special handling in title blocks so when the value you enter is long enough to run into/over title block geometry, we compress it so it fits.  Unofficially we call it squishy text.  For some reason in this case, it's kicking in when it shouldn't.  If you change the 0.X for 1_DP with 0.XX you'll see it repro's there too, it's the text string length causing the issue (likewise change 2_DP to 0.X and you'll see now it works)

I edited your titleblock to fix this (see attached), which involved removing the Tab you used to space out the +/- and replaced it with spaces. You'll see it's slightly misaligned to the others.  I also replaced your Sheet attributes with one that will update (Tag: SHEET).

In the meantime I'll enter a bug in our system for this.

Thanks,
Chris

Thank you. Following your comment, I renamed the attribute to 0.XX and all seems to be working now.

I liked the SHEET attribute on your attached file - thats exactly what i was after, it is now copy/pasted on my title block.

Thank you for your assistance

while we're on the subject, is there any way on linking the attributes to the subsequent pages i.e the title? Currently they're not linked so would require retyping - which is not ideal!
