Hello please, how can I customise the "Rev / Date / Note" area in titleblock (see enjoined picture). when I use the titleblock tool on a drawing for update, I loose the previous text. It should be easy to create a dynamique fields filled with the "title block tools Document Fields"

Sorry for my bad english.

BR, Raphaël.

Hi Raphael,

You cannot currently use objects in a Title Block template for revision notes. As you have seen, when the Title Block is replaced, changes to the Title Block in your drawing are overwritten by the Title Block template that is replacing it.

Instead you should just create new text objects in your drawing - these will be separate from the Title Block and won't be changed when you insert a new Title Block.

Hint: put Revision Notes on a separate layer and Hide that layer when you replace the Title Block; this will ensure that the new Title Block ignores the Notes when it sizes itself to fit your drawing.
