Field Expression Displays the expression that underlies the field. The field
expression cannot be edited, but you can learn how fields are constructed by
reading this area.
Options for Sheet Set and Sheet View Fields
Sheet Set Specifies the name of the sheet set.
Sheet Navigation Tree Displays a tree view of sheets or sheet views from the
Sheet Set Manager, from which you can select an item for the field.
Property Displays the properties available as fields for the item selected in
the tree.
Associate Hyperlink Adds a hyperlink to the field when it is created. You
can use Ctrl + click to jump to the sheet or view. This option is not available
for the ViewportScale field.
NOTE If you recreate the field, because the sheet is already in a sheet set, you
should use a sheet set property field, not a placeholder field.
Sheet set fields (fields that were selected from the sheet set category) behave
differently than other types of fields. By default, other types of fields update
automatically when you save the drawing or when you use REGEN. In contrast,
sheet set fields store the last values that were used, and they display these
stored values if the information referenced by the sheet set field is not
accessible. To update the value in a sheet set field, use
UPDATEFIELD
command.
NOTE If the information referenced by sheet set field is not accessible, the value
for the field will be displayed as “####.”

Definition dialog box when the
