Hi Can anyone explain me how I can put custom user text into a title block that is also a Rhino block. A text that would change for every layout as i.e. the scale of the drawings on that page or a custom name etc. Thank you for the help in advance :pray:

I finally figured this out. 'ish. Still some issues though. Editing the values in the Attribute user text panel is not possible with right click! I need to click and hover over the text for several seconds before I can edit making it almost a hidden feature. Furthermore if I take an existing blo…
