Just curious, Is it hard to have land desk automate drawings for the user? Or Dynamically have drawings which are current through the whole set?

EX. besides using xrefs, having information from a sheet drawing title by dynamically linked to its cover sheet. when cover sheet title changes, so does the sheet drawing title and versa.

EX. Labeling lines etc. user picks a line and a leader will start and you choose where the text goes by it labeling the type of line which it is... Existing Concrete, then that is what it would label.

Or, a job directory or folder is all setup with template drawings in it, base, sheet 1, sheet 2, sheet 3, etc. and all you need to do is drop in data information into the base.dwg which is already xrefed to the sheet 1, etc, User then opens Sheet 1, and pans and sets mview scale, add some labels... and plots?

and any other types of steps or ideas.
I know it will take time and tweaking.

Thanks for your help!
