Ohnoto Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I am trying to either know if a LISP is possible, or if my idea can be done by diesel or fields which would be easier for me since I don't know much LISP. I have created a block in model space that contains a matchline distance number and in paper space I would like it to update according to that block. However, this block is on every page and is different on each page and we update the number very frequently and I'd like that to update automatically in paper space when the model space number is changed. Attached is a sample drawing. Matchline.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Use a content FIELD referencing the object in model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohnoto Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 I tried that, but that only references the block selected. Since this block gets copied around, in paper space it would only retain the first block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 It will still save you on any 'updates'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohnoto Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yes I understand and I know that on each page it would have to be reset to that current page. However, where I work at is trying to get everything automated and I work with some who are not as ACAD savvy to quite understand updating, creating, or modifying fields.

alanjt Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 About the best you can get is to have a LISP that will select the the reference object, then the add a content/value reference to a selected text/attribute object. It's AutoCAD, not magic.:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
