Link/copy two or more texts in an AutoCAD drawing.

With the freeware utility CADstudio LinkText you can link two or multiple texts in a DWG drawing. Any change of the contents of the source text will be reflected to the target text. Use it for legends, standard legal disclaimers or other boiler-plate repeating texts.

You can also link multiple objects of the type Text (single-line text) or MText (paragraph text), including the option of adding delimiters/suffixes. The resulting text can be either written into a selected predefined text object (a template text), or it is created as a new MText in a window specified by two corners. You can also copy the text contents to another layout (which is quite difficult to achieve with plain FIELDs).

You can download the LinkText tool from Download and load it with APPLOAD.
