Field (”Field”) is a text or numeric data that changes almost automatically depending on the parameter that was assigned to it. So we can, for example, insert text data about the date or time of the last save of the drawing, the current date, the name of the computer from which the last change of the drawing was made, as well as the parameters, or the properties of the selected object - circle radius, line length, block name, attribute value, and others - into the text (with paragraphs or with only one row). The advantage of using the field compared to the ordinary text data is the option of restoring, or updating the field value after changing the parameter - if the line length changes or if the date and time of the last saving of the drawing is changed, we do not have to manually change and overwrite the data, but the text change will take place depending on the program setting. By default, the field data is highlighted as the grey background of the text (similar to the formula in the table).
