Create a block that when inserted ask to select another one to get their name to display in a label

[rik.ferretti444458]

I would like to create a block that when inserted it will ask to select another block to read the value of their TAG NAME or their NAME, then put it in a box; in this way I would like to put informations in a drawings with many labels located in the right position and cstomized by color, text style etc.

Thank You for any kind of support

Sounds like some custom coding would be needed -- a simple block insert won't do that. Instead a LISP routine that gets the information, and then inserts the block and populates an attribute.

Yes is what I need, exactly I have a dwg that is the output of a 3D Plant 'Oil&Gas' software. In that drawing pipe lines, valves etc. are exported as blocks with their name that corresponds to TAG NAME attribute; I need a routine that ask me to select a block and then place a box containing that string -name of block or tag name- so I can label the drawing.

I hope there will be a solution
Thank You
