Information from another block

[dhurtubise]

Is it possible to use field to fill information using another block attribute ?
I want in my revision block to show the value of my title block page number

Hi

Yes it is possible...

Below is just a very basic outline to get you going in the right direction -

Create Attribute definitions for Block "A" as per normal (or set the Attribute Value(s) using the Field option). Create Block "A".

Create Attribute definitions for Block "B" but this time assign the Attribute Value(s) by using the Field option (Field Names = Object / Object Type, Select Object = Block "A" / Property = Required Attribute Tag reference). Create Block "B".

Have a good one, Mike

Works perfectly
Thanks Mike

This is the exact question I have, but I want to apply this to a block i can put in other files and I have found that my Field sting changes between dwgs, even though the same block is being used.
here is an example, the same tag in the same block in 2 different drawings.

%<\AcObjProp.16.2 Object(%<\_ObjId 2116084968>%,1).TagString>%


%<\AcObjProp.16.2 Object(%<\_ObjId 2082953360>%,1).TagString>%

is there any way I could use the "block name" instead of this "Objld # " ?
