    Question attribute field link

    I am trying to figure out how to get an attribute in a title block to be filled in with an attribute from another block.
    Say I create a block called "information" with Name, address and client attributes.
    Now I want the same attributes in the "title block" block to be filled in with this information.
    I would like to make a dynamic block of the "title block" that has the different sheet sizes on it and if a different size is picked the information is filled out.
    I hope that makes sense... if not let me know and I will try to explain it better.
    Thank you in advance!
    Branden Z.

    Default Re: attribute field link

    Check out "Objects" under the "Field category:" drop down. Then select "Object" in the "Field names:" list. You'll get a button to select an object in the drawing. Click it and select the block. Now you'll get a list of all the properties of the block. Including the attributes. Select the Attribute and set the formatting.
