Is there a way when im using my title block (family) that i can have parameters setup to change the name and the date on the sheet without going through the Edit Family??

Everytime I'm in project mode creating sheets I either have to edit the family and change the name or change the date and I want to cut that step out....any help will be thankful!


Cheers!,

There are parameters built into the titleblock template for that purpose. When you load the family into the project, those fields are controlled by Settings > Project Information, or they should turn blue when you select the title block and you can edit it directly.

In the Title Block family, instead of using Text use a Label. When you go in to the label, in the left column select the parameter "Sheet Name" and use the arrow to push it over to the right side (put it in the label).

Now when you make a new sheet you can just click on the "label" and it will let you type a new sheet name on every sheet...

Check out the help file on parameters and labels and families, itll help...

Damn you scuba steve! You beat me. :)
