DECHAL Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hello FK. Try typing ATTEDEF. You can set up all your info from here. In Tag: file name In Prompt: enter file name In default: Right Click and Insert Field. There is loads of fields here and you will find File Name. This will print the file name.dwg. You can do the same for Date, well anything else. Regards, DECHAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 ATTDEF creates an attribute, and then once done you need to create a block that includes those attributes. If your title block is not an xref then make the attributes part of it. If it is an Xref, just make them a block on their own, ideally with one constantly visible entity.

uddfl Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Another thing you should know is that when you create the block with attributes, you should pick the attribute definitions in the order that you want them to appear when the block is inserted and the user is prompted to input the attribute values.

Or use the BATTMAN command to rectify the order, amongst other useful Block attribute features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
