You can map variables to attributes found within defined blocks (such as title blocks) in AutoCAD files. Values specific to different layouts appear as separate layout tabs in the file data cards.
See Mapping to a Drawing Title Block for an example of AutoCAD variable mappings.
- The AutoCAD application does not have to be installed or running to read and write AutoCAD attributes.
-
For drawings with different title block names that use the same property (for example Scale), update the variable with the additional block/attribute mappings. In the variable editor, you can use the wildcard character (*) for matching attribute names.
You can only have one matching block/attribute found in the file.
- Use the exact spelling when defining block/attribute names.
- Remove block/attribute mappings that are not used in files.
