proper usage of fields

    I want to include a field in a title block that is inserted into a
    drawing that is saved as its own independent file. Then I will xref this
    independent drawing into another drawing which it will be viewed and
    plotted from.

    I want the field to show the name of the independent drawing and retain
    it even though I am xrefing it into another drawing. Using this field
    expression %<\AcVar Filename \f "%tc1%fn2">% in the title block seems to
    return the name of the drawing that the file is being xrefed into
    instead of the xref's name. Is there another field expression I can use
    to do this?

    Thanks, kemp
