Automatic text

Automatic text automatically synchronizes text to a defined value when you use either a drawing or sheet template. To use this feature, add the appropriate text to the template and ensure that the text references the correct part attribute or key word (sheet template only). When you use the template, the text updates to show the predefined value.
