Is there a way to automatically populate the text fields in a drawing head with e.g. drawing scale, date, WorkSet name, drawing sheet name etc?
Thanks Josh.
Marianne,
I gave up on this for a while to focus on more pressing things, but I found this LEARN course helpful. However, it still uses a batch process to update all sheets prior to printing. It also goes through how to use the Sheet Index prior to printing, which looks like it could be promising if it sees some improvement.

Honestly, I still use a few Text Substitution strings because they simply work.
Hey Josh.
I have returned to this issue after some time but still haven't found a solution. The video showing updated sheet index numbers is interesting, but it doesn't solve my need.
Have you found a solution, and if so, could you please redirect me to forum post or video?
I have since discovered that the filename doesn't get updated unless and until a file/model is opened. This is problematic when using Print Organizer after creating sheet models using named boundaries. For instance, I have a cross-section file full of several sheets. If I add them to a print organizer set and print them from PO, the sheets still display the filename from the Sheet Seed.dgnlib unless I open each sheet model prior to printing with Print Organizer.
Having to open every sheet just to update the fields is not a good workflow.
Thanks Mark.
I assumed text substitutions would still work. I am just trying to "get on board" with the CONNECT products.
