Titleblock style - File path option not working

[ptoner]

Having issues trying to get the Titleblock Style to show the file path of the drawing. 
Attached record, and enabled the option, yet still nothing.

Has anyone else the same issue or advise me on what to do properly?

How are you "attaching" the record? I just experimented a bit and it seems to work differently with the new Title Block Border. VW sees any text created in the Title Block edit space as "Text in Title Block". The link is established by checking the Link Value checkbox in the OIP and then selecting the field to link it to in the "Parameter" dropdown. I'm not sure that you can still use the old method.

Thanks, tired this and associated the text to the record, via link value. It shows up the path then in the template/style but when you come out of the editing process and have it viewed normally. It does not show. Any further assistance? @Kevin McAllister

Hmmm, not sure. Does it reset if you double click on the Title Block Border object to edit it and then exit back out?

Hello ptoner,

 

If your Title Block Graphics are not set to be 'By Style', then changes made to them will not be applied to all Title Block Border objects using the style. If however, you have set the graphics to be 'By Style', could you attach the file so that I could check it out?

 

Thanks,

I had a similar issue when I updated my usual title block to use the VW18 title block tool. As a workaround, you can insert a data stamp into your title block layout and check just the "Show File Name" box. This will function in the same way as using the title block tool field. Note that it will not update until you actually export/publish the sheet layer!
