Well I think your question was solved in part. To have a sort of base block is updated automatically with each change, beginning and end can act as more users, the solution is to block reference system.

Thanks that works well, do you know how I could then imbed these within a block to make them editable as an attribute?]]> Mon, 21 Jun 2010 10:09:24 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=3875&PID=9998&title=blocks#9998 <![CDATA[Blocks : You can use a FIELD to insert...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=3875&PID=9994&title=blocks#9994 Author: Cad64

You can use a FIELD to insert a dynamic date and filename that will automatically update as necessary.
 
Or you can use the old RTEXT diesel expressions. Also dynamic and automatically updated.
Date = $(edtime,0,MON DD"," YYYY)
Date & Time = $(edtime,0,MON DD"," YYYY - H:MMam/pm)
Filename =  $(getvar, "dwgname")
File Path & Filename= $(getvar, "dwgprefix")$(getvar, "dwgname")
 
To use Rtext, type RTEXT at the command line and then choose "Diesel" from the list of options. This will open a little text window where you can copy and paste the code above.

Does anyone know if it is possible to create 2 block references within the same block. I am trying to create a block template that will automatically display both the filename and date. Also is it possible for the blocks to update themselves within a dwt without having to refresh them every new day?

Thanks for your help.
