    Hi,

    I am currently using 2000, but will be upgrading to 2007 in just a few
    weeks.

    Is it possible to extract the information in the drawing properties?

    Is it possible to "bring in" information to the drawing properties from an
    excel file?

    What we would like to do it create a client contract in excel, define things
    such as address,
    then somehow import this info into the drawing properties.

    The drawing properties are then displayed on the title block using rtext and
    diesel.

    Thanks for any info...even if its a different/better way to accomplish the
    same thing.

    When you get to 2007, you can use FIELDS instead of RTEXT.
    Also consider using Sheet Set Manager (SSM) for your title block
    automation. The SSM acts as your database of project and sheet information.
