    Is there any way to prompt for an entry in a drawing template?

    You know, there are bad trolls, very bad trolls and, now it seems, some
    not so bad trolls.

    It's funny that you ask about a "template enforcer" (wink, wink). It
    just so happens that SW2006, which it seems has just been "Announced",
    has just the thing. "Design Checker". If you look around on the SW
    site, you can read about it for yourself. It can generate compliance
    reports, and sends a 220 V shock through the keyboard if you forget to
    put in a proper description.

    Wow, COOL!!! Now all we need is a way to send the same kind of shock to
    clients who don't pay.

    Matt,

    I think you misinterpreted his request.

    It sounds to me like a ex-AutoCAD user that simply wants to edit block
    attributes.

    This can be accomplished with a an "event driven" add-in program that
    launches a custom properties macro when particular "events" occur.

    More sophisticated than simply inserting a block with attributes, but also
    more robust.

    Not aware of any freeware or shareware tools that provide this capability
    for SW.

    If all he wants is a custom properties interface, there are many good ones
    to choose from.
