Revision table object

Hi All,

While I am a long time user of ArchiCAD (since version 6.5) I have never really gotten into GDL scripting. So my question may come off as incredibly obvious to regular users of this forum.

Kerdels has recently changed over to ArchiCAD at my urging and as such I am spearheading the set-up of the templates / libraries etc. We have purchased a locally produced library, so any GDL scripting I need to do it minimal to fill in some gaps.

One such gap is the title block. I am using some auto text for most of the title block however I wanted to create an object specifically for tracking revisions. I drew up the grid, etc and saved the selection as an object. I have then added in the variables for revision, description, date and drawn by in the parameters tab. I have also created a simple layout in the interface tab.

So my question ... How do I make the variables actually appear in the object ? In other words I have a blank grid, I have variables in the parameters tab, but it is unclear how I put those variables into the blank grid ?

Your help is greatly appreciated

Attached I have shown the grid and I have shown the parameter variables and where I want them to go in the object

Thanks David.
I thought it was a "Request" but you saved me looking it up.
