Question
I have a existing title block, In 300 plus drawing that I need to add 6 lines of info to. is there a faster way then openging each drawing then typing the info.

Answer
Where all the insertions of the title block are at the same scale and the drawings are saved in the tab where the title block exists, then the ScriptPro, a free tool supplied by Autodesk can be used to apply a script file to each of the drawings.  If the title block exists in multiple layouts in a drawing it could be more difficult, but ScriptPro might have a solution for that.  Download ScriptPro here:

Expertise

I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.

Experience

I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.

Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
