titleblock text

[sfaust]

I am trying to make a titleblock and have made some new parameters. When Insert the titleblock into a new project and have nothing entered for these it shows up as a question mark. Since I will not always use all of them, I would rather have it show up as nothing... is this possible?

Also, I have text ("preliminary-not for construction") that I would like to be able to turn off at will. I have made a subcategory of titleblocks for it, but I can't figure out how to put the text in this subcategory, how do you do that?

try this (http://www.zoogdesign.com/forums/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=11299&highlight=blank+label#11299)

also, could use the project status field as a drawing status field instead and just change the parameter from preliminary to the blank symbol above for final cd sets

sounds like what I need, but I can't seem to click on anything in the "try this" post of yours in the other thread...

open the image attached to that post. You will need to open the character map tool that comes with windows. it can be found under Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools. find the times new roman font and use the unicode character that is highlighted in the image and you will get a blank space. Alternately, someone else posted a font with no characters that can be used for this sort of thing or to make blank dimension strings...here it is (http://www.zoogdesign.com/forums/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=13438&highlight=font#13438)...scroll to the bottom

That worked quite well, thank you! Sorry, I figured out how to get the link. I am new here and just had some html capabilities turned off. Forum has been very helpful, thank you.
