Best way for a title box.

[Anonymous]

Hi, I need some help on deciding which approach is the best to modify a title box. I have a macro that creates the grid lines with the coordinates inside the viewport, I wand to create a title box on the paperspace. It creates the grid depending on the view the user selects, it can change quite often, so I simply delete the old grid and create a new one. But the title box won't change that often, I want the program to "read" the info on the title box, and present it on a form, and update it with the changes the user makes on the for, What would be the best approach. I tried with Xdata, and it's not that easy to manage, would creating a block be easier? Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

Make a title block with attributes for every info you need, then create a form that would display it when loaded.

Either a block or just text would work. The more it could change, the more reasons for having a block. If it truly won't change, then use text and just filter it out of what you're deleting. It should be easy enough to find because title text is typically taller and of a different font/textstyle than the text within the grid. Once found, you could either leave it alone, or remove the string and apply it to a new "title entity". ___________________________ Mike Tuersley CADalyst's AutoCAD Clinic Rand IMAGINiT Technologies
