Topic: Possible to copy text field expressions to ther objects?

[econnerly]

Have a site plan that Im putting together for 100+ lots. Need to show some statistical data on the title sheet and one of them is impervious area to total lot area, expressed as a percentage. I wanted to label these lots using field text associated to the closed polylines of the lots. Then I can do the same for the footprint of the houses (impervious areas) and I have a lisp to quickly decide the numbers for my percentages.

I know I can paste the expression field into each lot text; but that means I would be doing this many times. Is there a way I could just copy the field expression of one lot around and pick on the new polyline to associate it with?

Instead of copying a field expression with the intention to link it to a new object, it would be easier for a program to prompt the user to select an object, then construct the field expression to be used.

Exactly. I was wondering if anyone knew or had something to  do this. I don't nearly have the skills that you have Lee.
BTW... That your bike in your pic? I just picked up a 07 R1 this past weekend. Love it!

Unfortunately, I don't already have such a program, but I could certainly write one for you (for a small fee). If you are interested, shoot me an email through my site and we can discuss it further.
