    i hope that one "text" is always the same as another.
    in other word, the text changes automatically when the father "text" has changed.
    who can i do it?

    You could make it a block and insert it wherever else you need it. You would
    have to modify any of the blocks with REFEDIT in order to change them all.
    Otherwise you or someone might be able to write a program to do it but I think
    it would be pretty hairy.

    Place the text in a block and use that block wherever you need the text to appear. Then when you modify the text in the block, all of its occurences in the drawing will be updated to match.

    can i do it by creating some kind of connection with the two "text" in database?

    The experts here (and that does not include me) might come up with a reactor to
    invoke the FIND command so that a change to the parent would also change the
    children.

    database?

  6. This is possible with AutoCAD 2005's Fields out-of-the-box.
