updating several title blocks at one time.

TrussTech's Photo TrussTech 23 Sep 2021

I am new to NanoCAD but not to AutoCAD.
I typically generate drawings with multiple layout tabs. The all use the same title block. In AutoCAD I can use the GATTE command to change one filed in all the title blocks.
How can I do this in NanoCAD?

The GATTE command is actually a Lisp program but it is dependent on the Express Tools in AutoCAD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can use a spreadsheet editor to edit the attributes
The spreadsheet editor allows you to make numbering. Change the visibility parameter and much more.
Save the table to the database. And you can use it all the time.

There has to be a simpler way. That is too drawn out. It would simpler to go to each page and change the data.

With the GATTE command you select the attribute you want to edit on one block. You type the new text and then it tells you that the data exists on <x> blocks do you want to update all blocks (Y/N).

I have the Lisp file. Can anyone modify it to work with NanoCAD?

An example in Russian. Unfortunately, there is no example in English. Various options for filling the title block of the drawing are shown.

Our products have powerful tools for setting up and “customizing” basic functionality using built-in tools
For example:
Tabular reports make two-way communication of objects. Between drawing and table and vice versa.
No programming knowledge. And downloading programs via appload
Calculations are done as easily as in Excel. But allow the property of drawing objects
The table can be saved to the base and can be simply copied and pasted between drawings.
