    Default Create and Save Date Fields Working Through XREFs

    I put mtext in a drawing (we'll call it drawing A) with fields that shows the drawing name, creation date, last save date & time and user. It works great. The problem comes when I xref drawing A into drawing B. When I open drawing B, the fields in drawing A display the data for drawing B. Does anyone know a way to make it display the data from drawing A?

    Thanks.

    Nope, sorry. I don't think it can happen that way.
