   I am trying to create a dynamic block that I can link to a model space view in Project Navigator so that it will display the view number and sheet number.  I would like to have the fields [VIEWNUMBER] and [SHEETNUMBER] contained within one string of text so that it can be set to center justified thereby centering on the geometry of the block.
When I place the fields in the attribute like this:
[VIEWNUMBER]/[SHEETNUMBER]
and then associate them with a model space view (by dragging the block onto the view in Project Navigator), it links successfully but one of the fields disappears.

If I double-click on the attribute, the "Value" box shows the first field (correctly linked) but the second field is nowhere to be found.

Based on this article it is possible to have two fields in one string but the two fields that I want are not playing nice.

Any help would be appreciated.
