Fields
A field is a multiline text object consisting of a field name and a field value which can be
automatically updated to show the latest value for data that may change during the lifecycle
of the project. Fields enhance the documentation capabilities within a drawing file and add
value to the drawing data.
Fields Overview
Fields are updatable data units within an AutoCAD Architecture drawing. Fields
can be entered into the drawing as standalone multi-text elements, as
components of AutoCAD text elements or table cells, as attribute values or as
part of AutoCAD Architecture property set data. You can choose from a number
of field types specific to architectural processes and tasks. For a complete list,
see AutoCAD Architecture Field Types on page 3467.
You can update field values on demand or specify various automatic update
mechanisms, for example updating a field when the drawing is opened or saved.
For detailed information about AutoCAD field types, see “Use Fields in Text”
in AutoCAD help.
