Topic: Field in Title Block with some math?

[CAB]

I want a Field in the Title Block (Mtext) to get the Tab name which is 1 through 12 and add to it a Custom Property "TB-StartPage" which is "11"
Result will be 12 13 14 .... in each title block.
Can the be done?

I haven't used Fields much & still in ACAD 2006.

hi cab
i'm not sure if understand correctly but you need apply this string to mtext:

Code: [Select]

"%<\AcVar ctab>% & %<\AcVar CustomDP.TB-StartPage>%"k.

Thanks
Not quite there.
Ctab = 1
TB-Startpage = 11
Text should read 12

"%<\AcVar ctab>% + %<\AcVar CustomDP.TB-StartPage>%"
If I could do it in LISP
"(itoa(+ (atoi %<\AcVar ctab>%) (atoi %<\AcVar CustomDP.TB-StartPage>%) )"

Untested, but try:

Code: [Select]

%<\AcExpr %<\AcVar ctab>% + %<\AcVar CustomDP.TB-StartPage>% >%

WOW  it was under my nose all the time. 

Thanks Lee.
