AutoCAD 2013 :: Call Name Of Layout In Field?

Apr 10, 2013

I use multiple layouts to produce build drawings and I use the name of the layout tab to identify the sheet on the shop floor.

I currently use a field in the titleblock that calls the system variable ctab, the problem is that whenever you update the fields, they all change to the name of the current tab, not the name of their own tab (by default, when you open the drawing, they all say Model).

I resort to building all of the layouts and converting that field to text prior to printing.

Mar 1, 2012

I want to point a field to my layout tab, but all I need in the field is the first few letters/numbers (i.e. X-XX-XXX) whereas the layout tab has much more info. I have done this in the past, but right now I am drawing a blank.

AutoCad :: Field Contents Not Carrying Over To Layout

Oct 12, 2011

I am creating a table of data using mtext to store data such as project name, client name, address, phone, scale, date etc. etc. and I plan to use that as the "master data" so I dont have to change a dozen text blocks whenever I update the file.

So I use FIELDS to enter the data into my title block. Problem is it works fine in Modelspace, but it doesn't carry over to Layout.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Revision As Field

Oct 9, 2012

why, when setting up a field on a drawing,... you cannot choose the Revision?  It should show up as a Document Field category... but it is not available to choose?  How are you supposed to link a revision field in your title block, to the revision set as a file property by Vault? URL.....

AutoCAD 2013 :: Creating IF-function Into A Field

Sep 27, 2012

I am creating a drawing template that everyone in my office will use, stored on a shared location. I want the label "Drawn by ...." in the title block to be filled automatically with the drafter's name who created the drawing. It would be easy to just add the field "Author" or "LastSavedBy", but my situation is more complex. Our workstations are identified by a code that consists of first two letters of given and last name, for example John Smith's computer is named JOSM. So if I use "Author" field, then I would get "Drawn By JOSM", but I want to get "Drawn by John Smith".

I would like to some how create a field that contains function:

IF author=JOSM, value=John Smith
IF author=MAST, value=Mary Stuart

Is it possible to create such functionality? I found out something about Expressions and Diesel Expressions, but didn't understand much.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Automatic Field Update

Jan 9, 2014

I am having problems with the automatic field updates. I've made a dynamic block with a length parameter "LENGTE (mm)" and a stretch action. In this block I also made a Attribute "LENGTE" the value of this attribute is linked to the length of the parameter with a field. The system variable "FIELDEVAL" is 31, so when I save or plot, or ..., the value of the attribute will be updated to the exact length of the parameter.

Now when I insert the block and stretch the parameter to a desired length and I save the drawing the attribute is updated and it has the same value as the parameter. But when I close the drawing and I open it again AutoCAD changes this value to ###. I tried the command "UPDATEFIELD" but the value doesn't come back. I have made a command string "c^c^_fieldeval;0;0;save;close" so that when i close the drawing AutoCAD sets the system variable FIELDEVAL to 0 then saves it and closes the drawing, so when I open the drawing again AutoCAD doesn't update the fields. That solved the problem. When I open the drawing again, I made a command to put the fieldeval back to the default value "31", so when I change the length parameter the attribute "LENGTE" will be updated again after a save or a plot. But then it goes wrong and AutoCAD changes the value back in ###. What is the reason that AutoCAD can't update that field, it works fine when the drawing stays open but when the drawing has been closed and I open it again it doesn't work anymore?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Extract Data From Excel To Field

Feb 2, 2013

I enter data into an Excel job setup worksheet. I then want to be able to extract data from given cells in the Excel worksheet, and have this become fields in AutoCAD.

Dec 8, 2013

Is it possible to use voice recognition to add notes / redline Autodesk 360 drawings in the field on a tablet. For example when inspecting a dock being able to use a stylus to add a redline cloud around a specific pile on a plan drawing and then adding comments via voice recognition would be a real time saver.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Use Layout As Model View

Jun 19, 2013

As the layout tabs I'd like to have a multiple model-views tabs.

I can use layouts tabs, I can change the background color to same as model tab and all its ok. 

However I'm unable to set scale to have text and annotation with a "human" size (that is, thinking on my screen and not on the paper).

Maybe this is a newbie question but I'm lost....

What is what I must to set ? I dont want to use layout to print, but to view my drawing with custom layer settings.
