Prefix in annotation template?

Hello!
Is there a way to create annotatation template with prefix?
I have data base connected to drawing and values on their own in the drawing don't make much sense (next to object I have text "yes" and I would like to have text "Stays: yes").
I don't want to add text "Stays" in my data base.

I would appreciate any suggestions :)

Thanks!

Simple, two ways of doing it, one is just add the prefix in the block something like this;

or in the expression builder prefix your value with (strcat "Stays: " your expression here then close it with a closing ) The key to it is make sure you leave an extra space after the : and before the " and matching ( ) .

Ah, yes...Thank you! :)

The prefix definately worked but now it doesn't :(

My expression looks like this: (strcat "Line: " &"Line No"@Line No) and I've got error message: Link template specified in the expression is not defined in the drawing.

If my expression looks like this: &"Line No"@Line No it works fine and I've got my value in annotation.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Try
(strcat "Line: " &Line No@Line No)

Providing you are pulling the annonations from a database link temple.
