Sheet Set Fields

The title block in the below drawing is an AutoCAD Block with attributes.  The value of the attributes are AutoCAD Fields (note the grey highlighting).  These should match the fields created in the Sheet Set Template. Then the user browsed to find the desired field, and selected the desired format. This process was repeated for each of the attributes in the title block.  Note that the text displayed in the drawing matches the values of the properties in the Sheet Set Template (text in Fields shows up in the drawing with a grey highlighting).  In the diagram below, the user has double-clicked on the title block to open the Attribute Editor.  Then the user selected the "DRAWN_BY" Attribute, right-clicked on the Field and selected "Edit field...".  That called up the Field editor.  In the Sheet Set, the "DRAWN_BY" property is a user-created Custom property owned by the "Sheet", so it shows up in the "CurrentSheetCustom" category.

Notice how the "SHEET_NO" property shows up as "------" in the drawing.   This is because it has no value set in the Sheet Set.  By contrast, the "TITLE", "TITLE1", "TITLE2", and "TITLE3" properties were set to SHIFT+SPACE (Alt+0160) in the Sheet Set Template, and show up as empty (blank) fields in the drawing.
