Embed Variable inside Text

Hello all,

Is it possible to insert a Variable inside a Text or Block Attribute?

I would like to use this feature to show the area of a Polyline inside a Text.
Thank you! Best regards,

David

No.

I can imagine a script that would automatically fill in the value of a text label or block attribute based on the area of a polyline. Even a transaction listener would be possible to automatically update the value whenever the polyline changes. To lick polyline and label, a custom property could be used (e.g. a custom property attached to the polyline "AreaLabel: F51" where F51 is the handle of the text entity).
