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 :: Annotative Blocks With Attributes Move To Anywhere
Oct 16, 2012When I insert Annotative blocks and change the scale drawing (E.g. 1:100 to 1:200), attributes of Annotative blocks move to anywhere. I tried already ANNORESET and ATTSYNC, and it solved at that moment. But when I close and open the file, the problem appears again. I have to apply ANNORESET and ATTSYNC every moment. How can I definitely solve this problem?

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.

Feb 10, 2013My entire office has been experiencing drawing crashes as a result of moving or copying certain blocks within a dwg. The problem seems to occur only while executing a Move or Copy command on a block with attributes, and zooming or panning while doing so. My heart sinks instantly because the block will disappear when placed, and I know I am doomed to crash.
I am usually able to pan or zoom a few times, and if I act quickly a Save will work before the drawing then crashes. We have recently switched from 2011 to Civil 3D 2013, and the problem still persists. The two culprits are our slope arrow block as well as hex call-out. Both blocks contain attributes and are frequently used through out our drawings, and this problem proves to be most frustrating when pressed for a deadline.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Multiline Attributes Don't Stay Put - They Just Keep Moving
Apr 23, 2013I am well aware this has been an issue for awhile and supposedly fixed in 2008 SP1.
But we are running Civil 3d 2013. and still getting this issue.
The Multiline Attributes in our title blocks keep moving themselves randomly upon reentering the drawing.
Any clear cut solution for rectifying this problem?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Control Order Of Attributes When Inserted?
Aug 2, 2012(Using AutoCAD 2013) I am trying to insert a .dwg as a block (which has attributes) using the "-insert" command, but the attributes order wrong. The .dwg I'm inserting is the "Exploded" version of the block (loose attributes) so that I don't have to explode it after inserting.
Is there a way to control the order of the attributes when they are inserted?

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 :: Command Line Doesn't Show Prompts For Attributes?
Apr 6, 2012We have hundreds of macros for inserting blocks into drawings. Many require the user to input values for attributes. The command line in 2013 does not display the user prompt for entering values. ATTREQ is set to 1. ATTDIA is 0. We don't want to display the dialog box, just the prompt. Here is what a macro looks like...
*^C^C'clayer;LAYERNAME;-insert;BLOCKNAME;!userr1;;\'torient;l;;0;
There are two pauses before text orientation for a user to enter information.How do I get the attribute prompts to appear in the command line? Works fine in 2012!
AutoCAD 2013 :: Double Click Editing Does Not Work On Inserts Or Their Attributes
Oct 10, 2013We are starting to install AutoCAD 2014 on our machines. On one of our machines, the user can't get double click editing to work on inserts. I can open the drawing on my machine and it works fine. She is using the same profile and workspace and both machines have SP1 installed. Double click editing works for other objects (MLeaders, Text...) but not for inserts or their attributes. The only way she can edit the attribute text is through the property window.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Change Multiple Lines Attribute To Single Line Attributes?
Jun 27, 2013I have a block which includes some Multiple lines attributes.
Now I don't want them to be multiple lines any more.
How can I change them to single line attribute?
In the block editor, the "Multiple lines" in the properties palette is gray out. I have create single line attribute and replace the multiple line attributes one by one.
Why don't make the Multiple lines property editable? This problem is since Multiple line attribute first time introduced.
Interesting thing is single line attributes can easily changed to multiple line attributes through the properties palette!
AutoCAD 2013 :: Select Attributes Left To Right To Bypass Unique Attribute Handle Logarithm
Aug 14, 2013I've got 1800 attributes that need to be numbered from 1 to 1800 from left to right.
I got a Lisp that can do that but the only thing is when I select it with selection window, he wil sort all atributes on their unique handle code. So I have the first 40 attributes going from left to right with groups of numbers at the wrong place like 1-10, 31-40, 21-30, 11-20 instead of 1-40.
This is because when you copy an attribute he wil place a new unique handle coded attribute and the copy contains the previous handle code.
But if I select them one by one from left to right and run my lisp it just works fine cause it seems it doesnt look at the handle code to place the numbers in that order.
So is there a way that I can select multiple attributes, like I'm selecting them one by one from left to right, so I can bypass this attribute handle code?

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.
