Does anyone know how to call the filename into a text block?
I'd really find that useful to have on a lot of our drawings because, especially between issues, we sometimes PDF or print drawings and don't know which file they came from.

There is a Text Tool (shortcut 1)) in the Basic tools palette. Is this what you are after? just pick the tool and click on the drawing and start typing. The text block can be moved to any location on the drawing.
Erum.. no.

I want the text to be linked to the filename, so when the filename changes (we update the file name much more often than the revision) the text does.
Try the Date Stamp then. Apply the stamp each time you change the file name and it will automatically update. I hope this is nearer to what you are after. It can be found in Dims/Notes
go to "data stamp" option in dims tool set and you have all options there, date, file, & more
