I used the new Hurricane title block wizard to retrofit existing title blocks to be "smart" title blocks. I embeded 'field' objects in AutoCAD into existing title block attributes. The attribute named DRAW_NO contains the drawing number. The attribute named CAD_FILE contains the full path location of the DWG file. My block name was BDRTIT. Edit for your title blocks then try it out.
Once the field is inserted just name the DWG file to the same name you want in the drawing number area of your title block.
For example if the drawing number is 100-M-002 then the dwg would be named 100-M-002.dwg.
If you copy or rename a DWG file the title block updates automatically! For example if I copied 100-M-002.dwg to 100-M-003.dwg the drawing number in the title block would update to the new number automatically.
Here is my script...
(LOAD "C:/PROGRAM FILES/HURRICANE/LISP/TB_WIZ1.LSP")
;-------------
TB_WIZ1
"bdrtit"
DRAW_NO
%<AcVar Filename f "%tc1%fn2">%
REGEN
;-------------
TB_WIZ1
"bdrtit"
CAD_FILE
%<AcVar Filename f "%tc1%fn7">%
