sfriehe Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I want to create a text box or table that can be edited in one master location, then displayed and automatically updated in other locations on layout pages. I don't want the information on every page, so the 0 page wont work. I want to use this for general plan notes and square footage's. I've looked into macros, but it only gives me Global macros as an option in the layout. Attached is an image of what I'm working with which I display on some layout pages, but not all. Currently I either update the information on each page, or update one and copy paste to the other pages. I want to reduce the chance for user error of updating each one or copy/pasting.

Chopsaw Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 You can have more than one template page. Sounds like this might be a solution for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfriehe Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 If I created a second template page those text boxes would to locked in the same position on the other pages, correct? Ideally I would like the option to move the text boxes depending on spacing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 There are many ways to do this. Some using custom macros, but also... You can just create a CAD Detail in plan or layout and then send from that CAD Detail to layout. You would have layout boxes all linked to the single CAD Detail instead of multiple text objects.

Chopsaw Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Yes they would be locked in position and you would need to work around them using the template method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfriehe Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 I never thought about a CAD Detail in the Layout file, that should work perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
