...Fourth. Very Very seldom do we have a drawing change which cause the set to be reorganized. I can only think of once in the 5 years I have been here. Why would there be a need for fields?...

So I don't see a advantage of using fields. Am I wrong?...Are the details in the back of the set numbered like 1/A22, 2/A22, 3/A22, and so on. Well in our sheets they are. So we have a standard attributed block that we use for this reference. When we put it on a sheet it pulls the name of the current layout tab (which is our sheet name) and we don't have to input that data. This works for all our sheets not just on the sheets with details.

View title (scale:) linked to the viewport scale.

This is all done by editing text. The next time the drawings are open the Title blocks are updated. What is the advantage of fields with the title blocks that are xref? Now if the title blocks were blocks then I can see the need of Fields....Does the information in your title block change? We insert our sheet border with some information that doesn't change. It also includes attributes for text that need to be sheet specific. Then we xref other information into the border that may only change a few times during a project but will be the same on every sheet ( like date or # of drawings). We have different submittals due in our work so these values will change during a job.

Opps let me rephrase that. Can Fields link to other drawing files? ON our floor plan (A1.1) that has a detail reference bubble with detail & sheet attributes that will point a detail on a A7.## series sheet which is a separate drawing file.

WOW!! Our projects might take anywhere from 6 to 20 months so our sheets could get reorganized many times during that time frame. If you don't have this situation then you are blessed. It is not a fun experience.

We have different submittals due in our work so these values will change during a job.The only thing that changes on a regular basis (almost on a weekly basis) is the "Issue Date" and "Issue for whatever" text. There are 3 pieces of text that drawing specific (DWG Title, ## & scale) and we insert these for each drawing. All other text in the TB is fixed and will only change if there was mistake or that information was late in getting to us.
Ah i can do that, what i was looking for though, was a way to have the field set up as a block so when i insert it it auto finds the vport scale without me having to do anything.
YES! (using Sheet Set Manager and sheet views).
the "Issue Date" and "Issue for whatever" text[/color] in as an xref then you can edit the xref each week and all sheets will be updated at once.
No can do... You'll have to select something because the field references the object's id.
