That's a great tip. I use fields for all sorts of title block attributes and was always wondering if there was a way to contain the info in the tabs. Nice!

[@Cadintentions]

Awesome, Glad it helped!!
Thanks for watching and the comment
Cheers,
Brandon

[@jacknardi8598]

Great Tip. I plan to implement. I've used a similar idea I picked up to have a field in my layout that updated the scale. Would never have found Ctab!

[@Cadintentions]

That's great, always happy to help and share new tips!

[@ejBajamIyayejBugoy]

new subs here nice tuts
my Question is:
is there a possible to get the last 3 digits of ctab field but if the last 3 digit is zero, it's ignored, and if the last two digits are also zero, they are also ignored tia

[@justJayMall]

Is there a field I can use to update the total number of layout tabs I'm using, as in "2 of X" or "5 of X" , but it updates all the title blocks when I add in a new Layout ?

[@Cadintentions]

I'm not sure off the top of my head but I can definitely look into it! I've used a custom dwgprop before to add the total number of layouts to my title block with success before though. You need to update it manually in the dwgprops but only once typically and then it updates in all the sheets you used the field on.
I have a video on custom dwgprops here: ua-cam.com/video/g1TrV6MY060/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
