ATTDEF/ATTEDIT

[hankthelank]

HI,

IM TRYING TO CREATE A TITLE BLOCK WITH VARIOUS DIFF ENTRIES, IE, DATE, DRAWN BY, REVISED BY AND SO ON. THE WAY I'VE THIINKING I HAVE TO DO IT IS TO USE THE ATTDEF OPTION, THEN CREATE A BLOCK, THEN USE ATTEDIT. IM COMING ACROSS A PROBLEM THAT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT. 1) IM TRYING TO MAKE ONE OF THE ENTRIES THE DATE. BUT INSTEAD OF IT GOING IN THE TITLE BLOCK AS, DATE: NOVEMBER, THE WORD NOVEMBER IS REPLACING THE WORD DATE, IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I'M GOING WRONG.

THANKS

HANK

Use ATTDEF just for text attributes that will need to be edited in the block for each drawing. For the word "date" which won't change, use standard text or mtext rather than ATTDEF to create it.
