Hi,
I have been linking data from an AutoCAD table to blocks using a "Formula - Cell" field. But this only work for numbers and I would like to use it for both numbers and texts.
Example: I create a table with infos for a valve (supplier, flowrate, diameter ...) then I insert a block of valve.
I insert field in the attributes
1. diameter: insert field/object/formula/cell - then pick the diameter cell
2. flowrate: same stuff
3. supplier: doesn't work like the others, because it's text.
The good thing working this way is when you use 300 valves, and the Client says "Ah let's not order from this supplier, let's order from this one instead" you change the supplier only once.
