To aid in updating text elements I have been using the "Insert Field" command from within the "Text Editor" so that if I need to make a change I can do it in one location and have it updated throughout the drawing. The problem I am running is when I copy the Text element the field assignment is lost. Is there a way to copy the text and have the field assignment retained?
I have tried both and in both cases when I use the "Field Update All" command after copying all I get is a string of # signs.
I just realized that I was not being entirely accurate. I had associated the field with data in a reference and when I would copy the text element I would lose the field assignment. However you are correct Paul that if the data existing within the drawing the copy command does retain the field association. It would be nice if it worked in both instances but I can definitely work with this as a solution. Thanks.
