Re: Automating Title Blocks ?

Whats the relationship between blocks and attributes??

Do you assign an attribute to each " part" of the title block I want filled

Then save the "WHOLE" thing as a block or a template ??

How do I get the "drawn date" to automatically pull the system clock date
(as it does in Inventor)??
