Best way for a title box.

Hi,

I need some help on deciding which approach is the best to modify a title
box.

I have a macro that creates the grid lines with the coordinates inside the
viewport, I wand to create a title box on the paperspace.
It creates the grid depending on the view the user selects, it can change
quite often, so I simply delete the old grid and create a new one.

But the title box won't change that often, I want the program to "read" the
info on the title box, and present it on a form, and update it with the
changes the user makes on the for,

What would be the best approach.

I tried with Xdata, and it's not that easy to manage, would creating a block
be easier?

Any idea would be greatly appreciated.

 

Make a title block with attributes for every info you need, then create a form that would display it when loaded.

 

Thanks.

I ran into a little problem, how to change the justification of an attribut
once it's in the block?

form that would display it when loaded.

 

Either a block or just text would work. The more it could change, the
more reasons for having a block. If it truly won't change, then use text
and just filter it out of what you're deleting. It should be easy enough
to find because title text is typically taller and of a different
font/textstyle than the text within the grid. Once found, you could
either leave it alone, or remove the string and apply it to a new "title
entity".

Sorry, it worked.

I only need to change the textalignmentpoint property, since I changed the
alignment.

Now I can use those attributs to fill my form, and update my block.

Thnks again.
