AutoCAD How To Automate Text using FIELDS - 4 Easy Time Saving Tricks! | 2 Minute Tuesday 

I discovered "fields" a couple of years ago and have been using a couple pretty much every day. I learned something new from this video that I have just implemented into my drawing template. Thanks loads Brandon.

Hi. Thanks. I didn't know we have these types of automated functions in AUTOCAD. I saw a few of your videos and have subscribed to your channel. These are really helpful.

Great. I would like that at the start of an Autocad drawing through a template, this automatically asked me the title block data. This would be possible?

Is there a field that can use to copy the name of the project, revision etc. from Cover page to the rest of the pages without going page bypage to change manually

thanks

Hi! Thanks for your video. Could you explain me how to add a revision number field in my Titleblock? Thanks

I typically put the plot information vertical along the binding edge so it is nondescript for most people viewing the document. Most people don't need to see the information. So on a 24x36 Landscape oriented sheet it would be bottom left corner and vertical on the edge. I'm surprised you didn't mention that there is a "Plot Stamp" check box feature in the "Plot" window (Ctrl P) under the "Plot Options" heading. When checked, the "Plot Stamp Settings" button appears. Your way of doing it is more flexible in location and options.

Main problem I have is that there is no way to do this once and only once.... your have to go thru that process for every instance... and who has time 4 that? (0.50 - 6.00)

BUT HOW TO AUTOMATE THE LAYOUT NUMBER IT SELF

Hi Brandon, is there a way where I could link texts from excel to AutoCAD using Fields? I'm trying to make an electrical loop drawing where I have to individually edit the text per cable and terminal block. It would be wonderful if I could just edit all the text on Excel. Thank you.

Best vids in the Biz!

Hi, great channel I would like the field value without the grey background...is it possible?

Is there anyways to make the fields text Caps?

Hello, I've been trying to place a Title field, but not matter what i do it just wont update. Even using the UPDATEFIELD command but nothing, it just stays like this - - - -

Thank you very much, too useful for me

Hi...is there any way to remove the gray background from the texts where we used fields?

I have not been in Autocad for a couple of decades, so much. Thanks this is very helpful.

Whenever using a position field, the thousands separator option is greyed out. Is there any reason you can think of why I can't set the thousands separator on my fields??

very nicely explained. tnx

Very Very good

A good set of videos, highlighting useful tips, great for me (a self taught AutoCADite). Thank you

Sir how to create door Windows numbers automatically calculate

THANK FOR DOING THESE 2 MINUTE TUESDAY'S.

Thanks and love you brooo..

Brandon I've been using fields in my title blocks, however the date field does not refresh with a regen? Has this ever happened to you? Also, do you have any tips on editing multiple fields of layouts at once? As always thank you for the vids

Nice, Thanks.

Great help!

Great video!

Thank you very much 🥰.

Underused function. I've tried showing a few peers this but they can't seem to see or wrap thier heads around the usefulness potential for it.

Brandon. I use fields on every drawing much like you do. Question: If you create a plot stamp but don't want it to show up when you send a pdf to a client, what method would you recommend? PS I've signed up for the course. What do I do now?

Amazing tutorial!
