1. BLOCKS-Text in drawing blocks autoformatting
2. How do I create a solidworks title block from a cad title block
I have tried various methods to create a title block of my own in
solid works and have not had very good luck. My goal is to use
existing cad title blocks and insert them into the solidworks title
block section. I have no use for the default title blocks that come
with solidworks. Any advice on this subject would be greatly
appreciated.

4. Automatic Rev Block, can you link the latest REV # to the title block?
Is there a way to link the latest rev# to a field on the title block? If I had rev 2 to a drawing, I would like the REV field in my title block to match automatically. Is there a way to link these?

6. how to read/write block parameters with Autocad2000 and VBA
Hi everibody, I'm an Autocad newbie and I've to realize many identical sheets with some different text labels (i.e. sheets that differ only for some labels). In each sheet, some parametric blocks are included. Inside theese blocks are located the labels that I'd like to set automatically reading their values from a DB or (better) an Excel sheet. I'd like to automate also the saving procedure providing the names of the files as record values. I think that this should be a "classic issue" (the one to have to produce many similar sheets starting from a tipical one) but my familiarity with both autocad and vba is quite low, so I need to be driven on the right path. Every advice or link is wellcome. Thank in advance and please excuse me for my english and if my post could result Out of Topic. Trini.
7. free block of a lamp-post light
I use the following macro to 'flatten' 2D drawings (I find it less destructive than the built in routine): ^C^Cm;all;;0,0,0;0,0,-10E99;^C^Cm;all;;0,0,-10E99;0,0,0; It works very well, placing block insertion points as well as all other objects (except objects within blocks) on z=0. However, it also reduces the z-scale of blocks to 0. This is bad because then the blocks are non-uniformly scaled and cannot therefore be edited without their properties first being manually altered to z=1 (or whatever). Is there an obvious solution to this problem?
