AutoCAD 2013 :: Make Text Attributes Show In Xref?
Mar 27, 2013I was wondering how I can manage to make text attributes show in an xref.
If this is not possible, is there a way to have text on a xref that is locally editable?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Attributes Won't Show In XREF
Feb 5, 2013I have an drawing that is loaded with attributed blocks. Nothing but text. When I XREF this into another drawing, none of the text shows. Layers are on, nothing is set to invisible.
I think this drawing is from an older version of AutoCAD, would that be the problem?
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 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!

Jun 30, 2011I'm a new at CAD Tutor but have been using autocad since R12 for DOS, I'm currently using AutoCAD 2011 MEP.
I received a file from an architect and the attributes don't burst and when I xref the file in to my drawing they don't show up. When I list the text, it says it is an 'Attribute Definition' but when I try and run attedit, the message says 'No object found'.
I believe the attribute problem is because the original file from the architect was made using Microstation and saved poorly to AutoCAD, but I'm not sure.

Dec 11, 2013I am a little new to assigning attributes. My company had a block with two attributes that I need to alter. When the block is inserted, it asks a quantity. The other attribute is titled location. I am told if needed, all these quantities can be totaled per drawing. It has a title of "location". Two things: How to replicate this action? And is there a way to show all properties of a field for an attribute?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Change Non-Xref Layers Show Up As Default
Jun 3, 2012For several releases Autocad's layer manager has shown only XREF layers in the layer manager by default. Open a drawing with Xrefs (nearly every drawing I have ever worked with) and to access the layers that are actually *in* the drawing, I must first open the layer manager, select the "Xref" filter, and check the Invert Filter box. Then I see the layers that would more logically be shown be default.
Does any way to change this so the non-Xref layers show up be default??? I am currently using Autocad Architecture 2012.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Layer Manager Show ALL / Xref Layers But Not In DWG ONLY
Aug 31, 2013Do the people that develop (anti-endusers ) the upgrades ever think like an end user? Having the Layer Properties Manager set up with default filters that show "ALL" layers or "Xref" layers without a default for "Layers Local ONLY" is so counterintuitive and non-user friendly! This is just another example of how Autodesk has absolutely no regard for the end user.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Set Variable To Check New Xref Layers Before Show Up On Referenced Drawing
Aug 29, 2012I use a building key for building reference (inserted as a xref into the individual drawings) in many of my drawings. I have layers for specific areas and rooms. I turn off the layers on the appropriate drawings (if the drawing is for room 301, I make sure all other layers are off and only 301 are on).
My problem come when I add a new layer to the key and since the key in xrefd into many drawings it shows up as always being on.
This makes to have to go back and do a little bit of layer control each time I change the xref.
VISRETAIN=1 only keeps the layers set to last save and everything added to the xrefs are basically taken from the xref (color, visibility, etc). Is there a way to set a variable so that you have to check the new xref layers before they show up on the referenced drawing?
