How can I created label in a title block  so that it automatically populates with project info?

 

for example, the project name automatically change on the title block, when entering new info on a new project?

Grab the title block you want to use and copy it to a project you are currently working in. Make what changes to text and layout you want, then copy and paste it back into the title block folder. When asked if you want to replace the existing say yes or choose to rename or let it name it and remember which you chose. Now back in your project choose that title block as the one you want for your plan set.

Along with what mark said when you change the text add the stamp that has the info you want updated (poject name etc).

INFORMATION STAMPS.

 

I never edit or copy my title blocks, they are all used straight from the TITLE BLOCK SUBDIRECTORY... I have around 29 different blocks to suit different sheet sizes and layouts, but never ADD or DELETE any information from them. All VARIABLE pieces of text are pulled from the PROJECT INFORMATION

 

See this post ... http://softplan.com/...er-page/?p=8482

 

As for the specific STAMPS, see this example ... http://softplan.com/...an-sets/?p=5567 ... Although this is a little out of date as newer stamps have changed, and I believe you can now use multiple stamps in the same text line.

Stamps are the way to go. Open the title block drawings, copy and edit one that you like with your information, and then put the appropriate stamps in their locations, and then when you put that information in for each project it will auto-populate onto the title block
