Drawing Title / Drawing Name on a Worksheet

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 00:22:22 GMT

A quick question, is there any way of showing the name of the Source File for a Drawing placed on a Worksheet?
Or is there any way of using Drawing Title outside of Layout?

I have several DWGs placed as Drawings on a single Worksheet and ideally, I would like to automatically "label" them with their source file. Drawing Title is greyed out for Drawings on a Worksheet and I also had no luck with Labels.

Is that possible or do I have to do it manually?

Hello mbl,

I do it manually too but I'm interested to know how to do it better !
Labels can always not be linked to zones neither external drawings 😕

Yes, it would be great if labels could refer also to Drawings. Or at least if Drawing's Title was accessible outside of Layouts.

At the end I figured out some kind of workaround. I copied my Drawing to a Layout, turned on the Title and then copied it again and pasted it back on a Worksheet.
That way, the Drawing kept its Title, even though it is still greyed out when i open the settings.

So now, when I want to link in a new DWG, I just copy an old Drawing with Title, relink its contents and it updates also the Title automatically.
