I hope I am explaining this right, but I have a drawing with multiple field devices. For instance, security cameras. We have a spreadsheet where all of these names, IP addresses, etc. are laid out. We want a way to automate when we place an icon on the floor plan that has an attribute field (or multiple), it can ask us where to get the information for that field. In our case, it's in a table that is in the same drawing, which in turn has a datalink to a spreadsheet.
Example: We place a camera icon, and then it will prompt us to enter the table field location (let's say B2) for that camera. Then if that spreadsheet gets updated with a new name, it will automatically correct the attribute on that icon. We place another icon, and it asks us again, we pick B3, and so on. Bonus if we can pick multiple fields from the table for all the information. Example: we place an icon, Name comes from B2, IP address comes from C2, Patch Panel comes from D2, etc.
OK, I got that part, and the table will update, but how do I have an attribute in a block reference that same data?
