fahim108 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Now here's a tricky one... I need multiple (say two) instances of the same text values (in the same drawing) but in different formats. Consider this: I have a drawing sheet with a title block that contains the drawing number and the author's name at the bottom with some other drawing details. Now I wish to have these "values" arranged in a matrix form at the top also, for indexing purpose. One way is to manually enter each value, one by one, in the matrix box but that would be too time consuming. So, is there a way to automate this; where I can enter the values in the bottom title block, which would automatically update the above matrix? I believe it can be done using a combination of Attributes and Fields but am just not getting it. To make the issue even worse, I need Numbers without hyphens (-) and only Initials of the author's name! Life is so complicated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 The best way I can think of is with lisp (while ( (setq ch (subst chrs cnt 1)) You can cycle through the characters and put them in the top. Using Attributes would also help when making the macro. Maybe put this into the lisp section? Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fahim108 Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Thanks Grant, but I'm just a beginner in the lisp department! I don't know much about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
