AutoCAD 2010 :: Exit Enhanced Attribute Editor Or Alternative Editor?

Mar 13, 2012

We've just started using an attribute in a dynamic block and I'm curious if there is a faster way to edit the text, like how you just click outside the dtext or mtext editor to save and exit. the editor.

We only need to edit the value field, not any of the other attritubes.  I really like how the dynamic block is saving us some time, but the outdated editor is really irritating, and it's not always convenient to hit Tab then Enter on the keyboard.

Is there perhaps an alternate editor, or a way I can edit the value text in the mtext editor by default rather than opening up the Enhanced Attribute Editor?

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Suppress Enhanced Attribute Editor Alert

Sep 18, 2013

When in the attribute editor, after you edit an attribute then click "select blocks", to choose a new block to edit, an alert appears telling you that an attribute in the block has changes and asks if you want to save these changes.  I ALWAYS want to save these changes...

Therefore, my question is, is there a way to turn that alert off or suppress it?

AutoCAD LT :: Enhanced Attribute Editor

Jan 22, 2013

Just upgraded (not sure it was truely an upgrade) to LT 2013. When double-clicking an attribute in LT 2009 a nice dialog box popped up that could be tabbed through to each attribute. In 2013 the Enhanced Attribute Dialog box will not allow tabbing, you have to physically click on each attribute item then go to another spot in the box and click again to make the change.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Change An Attribute From A Value From Another Attribute In The Same Block

Oct 5, 2012

What I really want to do is on our fire alarm blocks we have 3 different attributes one for the address, the candela and one for misc info. I want to make an attribute that takes the number from the candela (15,30,75or 110) and change a different attribute to a value depending on which candela we use (such as 15=.078, 30=.113, 75=.195 or 110=.259). But I don't want the .078,.113,.195,.259 to print out on paper, I want to export block information excel file so I can add up all values.

Maya :: Sliding Stoke Or Brush Parameters In Attribute Editor

Dec 10, 2012

My Stroke Refresh is set to off.

The panit effects viewport flickers several times per second while sliding the stoke or brush parameters in the attribute editor. It blink once when holding down the Alt button or press the "redraw panit effects view" button in the view port. It seems like it's keeping redrawing for every change related to the parameters, and this problem is just in the panit effects mode.

I'm a newbie to panit effects,

AutoCad :: Attribute In Title Block Exists In Block Editor But Not In Project

Sep 6, 2012

Autocad 2011, Electrical package,

I have an existing title block a few text attributes, to which I wish to add a watermark. I have added it in the block editor as a normal attribute, with the same details as the other attributes that work, only a different tag name. It has a default value, "DRAFT" and is tagged "WMARK". It works fine in the Block Editor, and If I test the block I can edit it to display whatever I want, but if I save the block and open it from Autocad proper, the attribute is not in existence, either as a default value, or editable from block properties, attribute editor or title block editor, whereas all of the other attributes are there. I have used BattMan to verify the settings of the attribute, and the only difference is that the others all have "L" in the "Modes" column, but I think that means that their position is "locked" whereas my new attribute is justified "aligned" therefore cannot be "locked" (This is some assumption on my part, as the documentation on the "Modes" column is almost non-existent). I cannot afford to waste much more time on this issue, as the boss is breathing down my neck, but editing watermarks on every drawing after every revision is frustrating, when it could be an attribute that is editable from the title block editor.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Attribute Text Twice In A Block?

Apr 27, 2012

I need to create blocks in which the same text appears twice.  I've created an invisible attribute to hold the text and created two mtext object containing fields that point to the attribute value.

The text fields show the default value of my attribute but will not change when the attribute is set on an placed instance.  After setting the attribute on an instance I've tried UPDATEFIELD and REGEN but still I see the default value.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Attribute Text In A Block

Jul 23, 2013

whenever I make a block with attributed text the block works just fine when I insert it into a drawing like normal.  However if I try and open the block drawing by itself the attributed text just turns into normal text after I get this message "Orphan Attdef Objects found & Converted to Text".  This problem seems to happen on two of our machines but a third co-workers machine still works fine.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Attribute With Multiple Visibilities

Is it possible to make a single attribute appear in more than one place on a single block? i.e. We have a title block in which we want the drawing number and revision to appear at both the top and the bottom of the page. We want to be able to change the information in the attribute on the bottom of the page and it automatically update the attribute at the top of the page. Is this possible?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Default Attribute Values

Apr 27, 2012

Is there a way to have attributes automatically update?  For example, we often "save block as" from block editor to create a new block.  We usually have block name on defpoints layer so designers can see block name on screen. 

We now have to edit this text each time new block is created from existing block.  If default value of attribute could be the block name it would save time and errors.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Multiple Displays Of One Attribute

Aug 28, 2012

I need to make a block with one attribute named SIZE which will be filled in when the block is inserted into the drawing. On this block I would like to display the value for SIZE in 3 additional places besides the attribute SIZE.

So to make a long story short I would like to take 1 attribute and display it 4 times. If I change the attribute I would like for all 4 displays of it to update with the change.

I've tried making the 2nd, 3rd and 4th occurrences attribute with fields pointing to the value of the 1st attribute object but it is not working.  How do I go about accomplishing this.

Feb 8, 2013

I am trying to create a block with 1 attribute (ELEVATION) showing a finished floor level and another text (field) to show another level derived by the sum of the attribute value + and additional (fixed) number, say 100.

I have tried using fields inside an ATTRIBUTE or a simple DTEXT but the field does not update, it only picks up the DEFAULT of the attribute, not the user entered input. How can I do this?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Block Editing ATTDIA Attribute?

May 16, 2012

trying to set up a system for a less advanced user.

basically they donot like the advanced attribute menu when you edit a block with attributes in them.

looking at the varriables the end user likes the  Attdia set to 1 when you insert a block it then displays nice clean menu which just has the attributes you can edit.

can this be set so when you later edit a block this menu appear rather than the advance attribute editor?
