Hello everyone! I tried many methods can not automatically get the drawing name.

text2 0,0,DRAWINGNAME

n = REQUEST ("AUTOTEXT_LIST", DRAWINGNAME, autoTextListArray)
text2 0,0,autoTextListArray

I do not know what I was wrong?

You should be able to use ...

TEXT2 0,0, <DRAWINGNAME>

When ever I want to script autotext , I just add it as text in plan view and then save as an object.
Open the object script and you have the autotext parameter.

This is for the drawing name assigned to the drawing in the drawing settings (see attached image).
Your drawing title should also be using this value unless it is just plain text.
There is only one autotext for drawing name as far as I know.
