Ryder76 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 looks like we might have to wait a little longer. Like "waiting for 'The Eagles' to put out their last album" wait a little longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNK Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 You can do so by inserting a nested block, then exploding it down one level so that a single 'free floating' text element references the attributed block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNK Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Huh? :? Insert the attached block. Explode. Edit the attributed block (bottom right number + rectangle) Refresh and the text element in the top left will update. BLOCK2.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 but isn't that where we were several posts back. Two independent entities that are texturally linked but no longer part of a block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be inserted into a drawing so that you only type the attribute once and the text will update. You can not get a block to reference values within itself, but this can be used over and over again from drawing to drawing, and multiple times within the same drawing.

cadanator Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I am attempting to make a block for elevations for four possible potions but only want 1 set of attributes. I've tried the field suggestion from earlier in this post with no luck. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
