EDITING DRAWING REFERENCE SYMBOLS

This portion of the TXTEDT command edits drawing reference symbols. This editor allows you to edit the text in the drawing reference symbol or link the drawing reference symbol to a drawing title in either the current drawing or another title somewhere in the drawing set. If linked the symbol can be automatically updated and will then show any changes to the referenced title's sheet, location, and/or number/letter etc.

This drawing referencing system does NOT use AutoCAD's sheet set manager, you do NOT have to have AutoCAD Architectural Desktop and it will work with AutoCAD versions: 13, 14, 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008.
