AC 10 autonumbering in drawing title object

Anonymous

In AC 9 we used a drawing title that could put in the number of the interior elevation or detail or plan according to where it was placed in plotmaker using the <DRAWING NUMBER> . It worked great. Now we are attempting to set up our AC 10 template and are trying to get it to work again and are using #DrgID but it only seems to work when we put in plain text. Can anyone tell how to make it work in AC 10 in an object? Am I using the correct autotext working?

Thanks,
Michele

Apparently <DRAWINGNUMBER> is now <DRAWINGID>.

I wonder what else was changed like this??!!!

Doesn't seem to work in objects any longer. No sure if that is a bug or a feature.

The list of PM9 autotext keywords you find here.

I haven't found the online manual on the GS server yet, but you will find the same list in the AC 10 manual if you search for autotext reference list or something similar.
Compare it. You will find several changes.

I have the same problem. Had to re-write a lot of our objects. This is a real pain because we use the autonumber A LOT in our office.
