AutoCad :: Global Edit / Block Attributes Rotation BACK To Match Block Rotation
Dec 13, 2012using AutoCAD 2009 (vanilla)
I got too smart for myself today in bringing an old drawing up to current standards...Everyone seems to want their block attributes to be zero - I have blocks where the attributes are best when they match the rotations of each blocks.
I have an old drawing that was rotated (as it should be) at approx 2deg.
I used a lisp routine to global edit all the blocks that needed to be at zero. BUT for some reason (and after hundreds of blocks were corrected), I noticed I now have two blocks that should NOT have been in the set have had their attributes rotated to zero....and the attributes should be at the same rotation as their block's rotation.
Because those two blocks have a fixed tic mark, I can click on the mark to see what the block rotation is, then rotate its attribute to that rotation, but I have hundreds of blocks! One-at-a-time sucks....
Any chance there is a GLOBAL way to edit an attribute rotation to match its own block's rotation?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Edit Attributes Of A Block
Aug 6, 2013I have a block named 'WD_MLRH'. There are 3 specific attributes which I want to change in it. The attribute names are.
RUNGCNT, RUNGDIST and RUNGFIRST.
RUNGCNT will = 20
RUNGDIST will = 1.0 (or 1 will suffice)
RUNGFIRST will be decided by a user input.
Something along the lines of...
(setq RUNGFIRST (getint 'Enter first rung number: '))
I'm sure this is completely wrong, but i hope that portray what I'm trying to accomplish.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Create / Edit Block - Attributes Missing

AutoCAD .NET :: Populate List Of Block Names - How To Edit Attributes
Mar 10, 2012my job is to make an editor for blocks in C#. There should be a WPF-window were the user can see a list of blocks. He selects one and than he should see an overview about block attributes like insertionpoint, basepoint, rotation and scaling and he should be able to edit these attributes in this form.
I know how i can populate a list of block names, but I fail at finding an opportunity to edit these attributes.
I get the blocktablerecords, but then?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Block Attributes And Extraction
Oct 8, 2012I am not very familiar with block attributes or data extraction. I have lots of questions.
i have 20 blocks each inserted multiple times. I would like to provide drop down menus to track each individual part and label size, location, etc. Can i insert attributes to one block and copy the attributes to other blocks?
Can i pull in info from an excel document, or do i have to enter the info line by line in the lookup table? (i have 400 names to assign in one of the dropdown menus)
Step by step process to pull the info from the attributes in these blocks into an Access document?
AutoCAD 2013 :: Attributes Not Staying With The Block
Jan 9, 2014I work for a company that has several AutoCad seats. I have created a block with 4 attributes. On my computer and others the block works fine. On one computer 3 of the 4 attributes are placed at 0,0 instead of with the block.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Auto-populate Block Attributes?
Sep 2, 2012I have one drawing with several thousand instances of the same block in it. Each block has a 'name' attribute. I want to populate those block attributes with a spreadsheet. What is the best way in AutoCAD 2013 to do that?
Ideas: the old ATTOUT, ATTIN commands from Express Tools....rather a dated method, but it might work
dbConnect: I've never used it, but might work.
Data Extraction Wizard: I think is just for data extraction from a drawing, but again not sure.

AutoCad :: Edit Text Attributes Nested In Multiple Blocks?
Jun 22, 2010I have a .dwg file which contains numerous blocks (70 or so) and they all have unique names.All these blocks have nested text.
I want to edit the attributes of all the text, in all these blocks, such that they assume the same text style, text layer and colour.
Obviously, with so many blocks, I want to avoid clicking on the text and editing the attributes individually.
I tried a lisp file called ATcolour.lisp, but even this is very time consuming.

AutoCad :: Rotate Block - Text Attributes
May 10, 2013How I rotate a block but set the text to stay readable.
At the moment I have a 600x600 light fitting with a Tag inside for typing the letter of the fitting. E.G. Type A, B, C
I have a rotate function also so I can rotate the fitting to the orientation of the room.
But when I rotate the fitting the text rotates also, therefore if I turn the fitting round 90 degrees the text is on its side. How do I rotate the block but leave the text orientation the correct way?
AutoCAD 2013 :: Dynamic Block With FLIP And Multiline Attributes Causes CRASH
Jul 24, 2013I sent the following message to autodesk:
Issue: Dynamic Block causes crash
Preface: A dynamic block c/w a 'flip' parameter and a multiline attribute will crash when the block and attribute is flipped, and the attribute justificatiob modified.
Explanation: When the dynamic block is flipped, the multiline attribute is also flipped causing its justification to switch from 'top left' to 'top right'. When the attribute is edited in the in-place attribute editor to switch the justification back to 'top left', it causes AutoCAD to crash.
Workaround: Instead of using the in-place attribute editor (i.e. same as MText editor), the attribute justification is changed by modifying the attribute properties in the 'Enhanced Attribute Editor' dialog box - on the 'Text Options' tab
AutoCAD 2013 :: Create Block And Include Attributes That Have Background Masked

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Create Dynamic Block With Attributes - Drawing Title
Aug 8, 2012I have searched high and low and still could not find a tutorial to really explain how to create a drawing title with attributes (Detail Number, Sheet Number, Detail Title, Detail Scale). All I find are on creating dynamic block, which I could achieve, but I need one for a block that has (or will have) attributes.
I was able to find a tutorial on attributed door numbers, but it does not work for drawing titles that has attributes. GOAL: I would like to have all my seven drawing titles in one file and to be able to stretch the leg of any selected title to a desired length.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Attributes Show Up As Text Without Manual Text Entry?
May 16, 2012I would like to know how, if possible to make the attributes of a block show up as text. Example:
I am working on a power utility design where each power pole has a sequential name and may or may not have units that need to be added into a contract. I have my attributes set up where I can go in and assign a required number to a unit so I can export my data into excel. The problem I am having is that I have to enter the text and change the attribute quantities separately. Also, there are 40 or so different units and only a few certain ones required at each pole. Is there a way to set the attribute only to display text if the quantity is greater than zero so my list is not 40 units long at each pole?
(I am using Autocad 2013, 64 bit)
AutoCAD .NET :: Explode Block With Attributes / Converting Attribute To Text?
Feb 7, 2012I wrote this little piece of code (attached) that explode all the blocks in the current drawing.This is magical, compared with what we had to do in VBA.
This works perfectly but now I want to go deeper and managed blockreferences with attributes.Based on my code, I can determine if oBTR.HasAttributeDefinitions is true or false.
If the blockreference has attributes, I suppose I will have to use Explode instead of ExplodeToOwnerSpace.
My first question is, using explode, I need before to know in which space the blockreference is inserted (Model or any layout) so to insert the exploded entities correctly. So, is it possible from a blockreference to get its own SpaceId?
An another idea I had is to edit the blockreference (not the block definition) to replace attributes with text...

AutoCad 2D :: Rotate Block With Attributes - Messed Attributes
Jan 23, 2012From the attached image you can see what I'm talking about.
(left=original, middle=ROTATE, right=PROPERTIES)
When I rotate blocks using ROTATE command everything is fine, but when I rotate blocks using PROPERTIES my attributes get messed.
I need to rotate several blocks at once with PROPERTIES, because I don't have time to rotate each one separately.
The same thing happens when scaling blocks, but this was resolved using the command BSCALE in the command line.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Edit Block In Place Redundant Click
Sep 6, 2013When I edit a block in place, REFEDIT toolbar pops up. This is good.
But why even I clicked 'Add to working set' button on the toolbar, it still asks me select 'Add' in command line?
Apparently I already selected 'Add' button.
Is there a way to skip this command line option?
