how to link a cell in a titleblock to part attribute?

how to link a cell in a titleblock to part attribute?

how to link a cell in a titleblock to part attribute?

(OP)
in the drawing, i created a simple tabular notes and then i made it as titleblock.

in file > property, attribute tab, i create a string attribute called "CUTTINGSPEED0"

now my goal is whenever i modify the string value of the CUTTINGSPEED, the cell2 in titleblock is updated.

is it possible to do?

also, is it good to make all tabular notes as titleblock so that later on each cell value can be linked to attribute?

thank you

RE: how to link a cell in a titleblock to part attribute?

(OP)
i found the solution,

after i create an tabular notes, I SHOULD NOT CONVERT IT TO TITLEBLOCK TOO EARLY, my hand is too quick.....:0

right click a cell and edit text, in the dialog, pick "relationship"
then click insert part attribute, then pick whiciever attribute i want

now i do have question, once the tabular notes is converted to titleblock, can it be converted it back to tabular notes?
for example, if i find i want to revise the titleblock, without redoing everything, just change it back to tabular note and do revision??
