AutoCad :: Removing Xref From Block Without Removing It From Drawing Block?
Dec 22, 2011Drawing A has a grid system Xref-ed into it. It also has a block reference in it, repeated in various places throughout the drawing.
I Xref-ed the grid into the block to check something, and now I can't get it out. This means that the grid now repeats all over Drawing A as well and is generally being a nuisance.
If I try to unload the Xref within the block, it unloads it in Drawing A too. If I try to detach it from the block, it returns this message: Xref [Xref name] has multiple references. Not detached. If I try to detach the Xred from Drawing A, it returns the same message.
How do I unload the same Xref that occurs in a block in a drawing, and in the drawing itself, independently of each other?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Removing Nested Block From Main Block?
Oct 3, 2013I get an AutoCAD drawing from my conveyor manufacturer who have buried a block (tagname) in all of their conveyor blocks.
The only way to remove them is to manually use BEDIT and erase the tagname block.
Is there a way through Autolisp to search all blocks in a drawings and if the tagname block is part of the definition of the conveyor block, erase the tagname block or redefine the conveyor block without the tagname block.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Text Block Annotation
Aug 12, 2013I am attempting to create some blocks, which consist only of text. The issue I am having is with the option to make the block annotative. I have set the text within the blocks to annotative, and it seems to work, but when I reenter the block editor and highlight the text, it still says "Annotative - NO".
View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Dynamic Block With Attribute And Annotation Text Style
Apr 8, 2013Got a problem with the attached drawing. (The drawing will eventually be used as an xref).
I have created a dynamic block that has a (multi-line) attribute applied. This attribute is linked to an annotative text style. The drawing contains annotation scales. I have applied some of these annotation scales to the attribute so that it shows at 4.5 in paper space.
The annotation scales (metric) contained in the drawing are "1:500, 1:1000, 1:1250, 1:2000, 1:2500, 1:5000, 1:10000, 1:20000 and 1:25000". All these annotation scales are applied to the attribute.
The block contains a look-up table of properties that when applied, size the block to be used as a boundary to the following scales "1:500, 1:1000, 1:1250, 1:2000 and 1:2500".
Now, for example, i wish to set the blocks to be shown at 1:2500 in the drawing. I select the blocks and make them 1:2500 in the 'look-up' table. However, if i wish to set the annotation scale to 1:20000 (because this will xrefed into a drawing plan of a scale of 1:20000) it incorrectly shows the size of the attribute. The attribute has a 1:20000 annotation scale set to it but its size is not correct. This happens for other scales but for other scales (1:25000 for example) its fine. Also, the attribute could move when switching annotation scales and appear near the 0,0 WCS.
The layout tab shows the annotation scale and viewport scale set to 1:20000 but as you can see, the text is not set to 4.5.
I would prefer to have the attribute linked to the block though. I have tried ATTSYNC and RESETBLOCK but the bug keeps coming back.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Annotative Block Moves When Annotation Scale Changed
Mar 13, 2013Annotative block moves when annotation scale changed,
The solution for this problem is mentioned in the link below but sounds not to be useful:
[URL]....
I got a block that contains an attribute (attached) and created on layer zero while the current annotation scale is 1:100. As this annotation scale is changed (say to 1:200 or 1:50) this block moves from its original place to another one (as shown in the attached screenshots).

May 19, 2012i have an elevation point layer that i'm using in a project and i needed to import it to arcgis for some interpolation.
Problem is, all altimetric points are "B"s instead of being points, and arcgis doesn't recognize them as points. Is there a way of quickly converting them all of them into points?
Take into consideration that we're talking about hundreds, maybe thousands of said "B"s.
AutoCAD 2010 :: ATTYNC Command In Different Annotation Scales?
Feb 13, 2012We are using in the office annotative blocks with text attributes.
When changing the display annotation scale, the attributes go normally, at the beginning, all back to 0,0,0 point; what we solve by using ATTSYNC command, and works fine; they go back to correct size and location.
But, for some reason in some computers, when closing and saving the file, and opening it again next day, all the attributes, at the same display scale than the day before, are all wrong size and location.
I have tried to uninstall the whole program and install it again from zero, and the same problem persists.What can I do?
AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Import / Export Text Annotation Settings
Jul 9, 2012I have been trying to export my annotation settings using the profile function on Autocad 2010. I can't get it to work, and I don't think this is the best way to achieve my goal. I've made a template file, but I don't know how to import it.
My goal is to, as quickly as possible, give 8 drawings the same annotation settings.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Pro 2010 Locks Up With Annotation Ribbon Tab Is Selected?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Changing Annotation Scale Causes Text To Move A Kilometer?
Oct 23, 2010When I change the annotation scale for selected text and leaders, most of it shoots into space. I have tried one at a time and many, all with the same result.
The text size looks correct, the leader looks fine, but the text x coordinate changes radically.
Changing from 1:1 to 1:15,000
Does this mean I have to relocate every leader text back to something normal, or am I missing something.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Insulation / Batting Line When Changing Annotation Scale
Dec 6, 2011I'm more or less happy with annotation scaling, apart from the mysterious hatching problems that are not the issue of this message.
But there is a major annotative scaling issue with batting / insulation lines. Insulation lines should NOT change with annotative scaling ! A 4" insulation layer shouldn't become 16" just because i'm printing in bigger scale !
AutoCAD 2010 :: Duplicate Annotation Scales HARD-CODED In Drawing File
Apr 30, 2013I have determined that an AutoCAD drawing has the unfortunate ability to have Annotation Scales "hard coded", meaning they CANNOT be removed from the drawing.
Let me explain....
In a detail drawing file (i.e. my master drawing file where I keep all of our standard details), I was getting duplicate Annotation Scales. I would try to use the SCALELISTEDIT command to try and delete the anno scales not being used, but it would appear they WERE being used. (and resetting the anno scales didn't work either)
I was using a combination of tricks to determine WHICH annotation objects were using the duplicate anno scales. I would set ANNOALLVISIBLE to 0 and set the CANNOSCALE to the duplicate anno style to see where they were being used with no luck
I would then use the QSELECT command to group select each type of annotation object that were annotative, and check to see if they were using the duplicate scales. Again, no luck
THEN, I decided to cut-n-paste each detail one-at-a-time from my master drawing file to a new BLANK drawing with only one annotation scale in it (i.e. 1:1). I would paste a detail, and then enter the SCALELISTEDIT command to see which anno scales "came along for the ride". I pasted a particular detail that carried over the duplicate anno scales, but when I checked all of the annotation objects for the duplicate anno scales - NOTHING! I then deleted that particular detail, purged it, and then I was able to delete the duplicate anno scales. But no matter what I did to try and fix that detail (i.e. wblock, cut-n-paste, save-down, etc) the duplicate anno scales simply will NOT be allowed to be deleted even though i cannot find any objects associated with them.

AutoCad :: Replace / Redefine Block Removing Attributes
Aug 27, 2007I'm working with some "dirty" blocks that contain several attributes. I've cleaned the blocks up by wblocking, cleaning, & purging the newly created block. I also removed any attributes within the file, including those within blocks within the file. I then renamed the file and inserted it into the drawing, and did a replace block with another through express tools. The problem that I have is the blocks are replaced with the clean version, yet the attributes remain. Is there a solution to this. I do not want any attributes to remain and the only way I know how to fix it is to replace them one at a time.
Also, I'm using AutoCAD 2004.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Inserting New Block And Entering Attribute Data By Selecting Another Block?
Aug 13, 2012Is it possible, via whatever methods (lisp?) to be able to have a premade block with an attribute and insert it into a drawing then assign a value to it by selecting another existing block in the drawing and using one of its own attribute’s values?
For example, say I have a block representing a telephone and it had an attribute called "PhoneNo" and I inserted it into a drawing showing an office floor plan that had blocks in each office space that are telephone junction boxes with attributes "PhoneExtension". I would like to be able to autocomplete the entering of the “PhoneNo” data by selecting one of the telephone junction boxes in the drawing and using its attribute’s value.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Convert Block Back To Title Block Or Border
Feb 15, 2012We have a title block and border which is used in MS. If this is referenced using AMTITLE then it acts as expected. We issue these to some external people to create our drawings but they have been using CTRL-C and V to place them in a new drawing. ACAD does now not see them as a Title block or border but as blocks. We have a process to bring DWG's into SAP and this will check for a title block and border.
The issue is we need to fix these drawings and currently this means removing the borders and title blocks and placing new ones then adding all the attributes again. Is there a way to convert the blocks back to how they should be?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Way To Have Block Within Block That Has Same Ability To Move Around
Aug 15, 2013I have a block (room info) that has five line os text with attributes that display grips which allow them to be moved in whatever drawing I put them in. Within that block there is a little polyline that is the square with a dash through it to represent sq. ft. that I made into a seperate block ( sq ft tick). The room info block part of it works great in all my drawings, but the darn sq ft tick block within the room info block won't budge! I have tried giving it a seperate insertion point and giving that block its own attribute, but no luck.
Is there any way to have a block within a block that has the same ability to move around as the other elements?
AutoCAD 2010 :: Removing MAP Feature In DWG
Dec 12, 2012I work with a colleague who is running AutoCAD MAP. When he makes a block or saves a drawing, at the origin is a 3D, downward pointing arrow which in 2D plan view obscures anything around the origin. I open his blocks or drawings in ACAD2012 or 2013 with the same issue. In plan view, the 3d arrow appears as a circle with radial lines running out from the center. If I save the drawing in my ACAD that feature is still there.
I've attached a png screenshot of what I'm talking about.
Is there any way to get rid of that feature, which is apparently coming from his MAP version of ACAD? I've looked for settings on his machine and on mine. I have played with the Workspace setting. I've looked in Options for anything. Maybe there is a system variable. How to control the visibility of this 3D arrow in ACAD?
AutoCAD 2010 :: Annotation Scale Is Not Equal To Plot Scale
Mar 15, 2011I work in autocad 2010 and I draw in scale 1:1 . What an annotation scale is, moreover I have never used annotative objects in my drawings.
Nonetheless, when I try to plot a drawing, while I am in the model view, I choose the scale in mm/units, I select the plot area and when I press preview or plot, I get the message THE ANNOTATION SCALE IS NOT EQUAL TO THE PLOT SCALE. DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?
I press yes, I print it and the outcome is always a bit smaller than it should be.
When i am in the layout mode and I try to plot, I dont get this message. But I dont know how scaling works in this case. For example I want to plot in a A4 paper, scale 1:100. So I type 1000mm/100units, as I did in the model mode, but the result is wrong.
