Use text fields to keep your documents current

 

Have you tried Enhanced Text Fields?

Keep your design documentation current by using text fields. Text fields can be used in title blocks, annotation objects, and notes that update automatically as your design changes, preventing errors in large drawing sets. Text fields automatically update, ensuring that design changes are always accurately captured. 

Rhino 7 features 6 improved text fields and introduces 11 new text fields. In addition, in Rhino 7, annotated blocks allow you to reuse your content on different layouts and across all your projects.
