Comments(5) Type FIELD on the command line and you will get this box:
Select a field name and format, such as the date field in this case, and the final result will look something like:
When you use the FIELD command AutoCAD actually creates a field inside a multiline text (MTEXT) object. You can edit this by double-clicking on the object (or type DDEDIT), and then double-clicking again on the field itself. This will bring the Field dialog box back up where you can make modifications.

vikash gupta,
Thank you for your comment.
dblock – are you wanting to know more about dynamic blocks?
field – I plan on posting more about fields. Do you have any specific questions about fields?
vlide – I am not very experienced with Visual Lisp but I can point you to some good websites that talk about it. For starters check out Afralisp.net
How come I cannot get to the “Learn more about Fields” from the link? It continues to bring back “Service not available”
I am also looking for more than the basics. All I seem to find are basic tutorials and videos.
I am trying to link fields to tables across different layouts sheets including Model space.
Darren,
This is quite an old post and it looks like my link to KXCAD is no longer valid. I will remove it shortly.
Maybe I should post more about fields, but I am not sure they do all you are hoping they will do.

I am looking for more indepth tutorials that take the student beyond the basics. Any suggestions? or if you know how to do what I am looking to do please let me know. Thanks Josh.
