Dynamic lookup confusion
I am new to autocad and am using it for work, at an electrical company. We build panels, and I have been tasked with making the drawings for them.
I am wondering how to make a dynamic lookup table. For example, everywhere I have the placeholder "Well #1" I want to have it replaced with "2-67-2-8". What would be the best way to do this? Thank you.

The FIND command should do the trick as it allows replacing text.

It does, thank you! I'm more looking for a solution where I have a table and can update the table once, and all the references to the text updates automatically.
