AutoCAD .NET :: Assign Plotstyle To Attribute Definition In Block?
Nov 21, 2013
I am trying to assign a plotstyle to attribute while creating a block. First I create the block, then I insert the Blockref, in that process I have errors assigining a plotstyle to the attribute. (I have also tried to assign the plotstyle while creating the block and attribute with poor results.)
Here is my attempt to do this:
For Each objId As ObjectId In blkTblR
Dim obj As DBObject = objId.GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead)
If TypeOf obj Is AttributeDefinition Then

I am wondering what Block Authoring actions i can use to move my Attribute Definitions up and down in a Dynamic Block. I understand duplication the definitions can get really ugly.
So i want to be able to have a second visibility tab in my block the nwhen i select it my Attribute Definitons insertion point moves to another co-ordinate with in the block.

I'm having trouble getting my attribute definitions to work with my blocks.
I'm trying to create a tag that can flip around (dynamic) and have a tag number easily entered (attribute).
I notice that I could only get the attribute definition to work during a drawing insertion is when I wblocked out my block and inserted that drawing file. I was not able to insert the drawing file that had the block in it.
I can't seem to make a dynamic block drawing file, and then insert that dynamic block drawing file if I want the attribute to work..

This is my Dynamic Block with attributes.But when I will stretch or flip the block the attributes will stay on the original positions.
The attribute mode is on locked so I don't get it. Any way to link the both attributes, so I only have to fill in the value for once.

I am having issues with the Batch File changing a attribute definition. I do not want to go in to the 500 or so dwgs just to change the one attribute definition i can code to replace.
; ATTRIBUTE FIND AND REPLACE
-ATTEDIT
N
N
TTLBLK
DEPT#
*
CCCC
4682
Zoom
Extents
QUIT
The code format works for every one of my att in the title block except the DEPT#. I think it is because it is the only att with the # sign as an end character in the Att definition. I can not change the attribute name bc it is my customers title block. I am working on 2013 LT and would prefer a fix for LT but can get access to mechanical 13.

I am attempting to create my first Title Block with attribute definition. I am having trouble finding a way to use True Text. My goal is to use Arial Black. The Attribute Definition window provides only 3 text options: Pres, Notes, and Standard. Adjusting the Width Factor does not yield a text that will replace Arial Black. Is there a way to import true text into CAD for this purpose?

I'm trying to change block the definition of an block reference.
I did something like this:
blockreference.BlockTableRecord = newBlock.ObjectId;
In most cases this works well. However I found a case that it not work as well. When I try to change the definition from a new block that I have created in my test DWG, it disappears from the model.

I am trying to customize AutoCAd for a special domain where attribute values need to have a type. I can have a clean integrated solution by manipulating the acad.dcl or base.dcl .I am using AutoCAD 2012 . I want to extend the " define attribute" and "edit attribute" dialog boxes to promt the user for a value type when they define an attribute .I can't find the definition for these dialog boxes in acad/ base dcl files. Ideally I want to add another tile definition to these dialog boxes .If that is not possible atleast spawn a different dialog box from the "define attribute " dialog box that will collect the value type from the user.

Within a block I have a attribute definition and a textfield which refers to the value of the attribute definition.
The value of the attribute definition displays neatly as it's supposed to but the textfield gets the prefix w0.6000;
This Prefix refers to the textwidth I know that much but I can't get rid of it!
The peculiar thing is that if I don't use the "multiple lines" option in the attribute definition the problem disappears.
I really need to use this option because I wanna apply a textmask to it....

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.

I have a question regarding parameters in a block definition, or more specifically how to constrain parameters. I have attached a PDF showing exactly what I am working on. Basically I have an arm for a monitor which I need to add some parameters to. I need to be able to have a point that I can grab where the "primary grab" is located, and when I grab that I need the arm to pivot at the indicated pivot point, but be restrained by the first arm that is constrained to the circle. Is this possible to do in AutoCAD?

Is there any way not to show a particular block in block definition table ? My program bring a block into drawing thru a user form . And set some Xdata to it after insertion . If user bring the block manually into drawing then how would we know which one has xdata and which one doesn't. I came to this solution to hide it in block definition list.

how I can get VBA to insert/redefine a block reference from another file into a block (of the same name) that already exists in the target drawing?
I've tried using the insertblock method but it produces a 'filer error' - As a bonus point, it'd would also be good to be able to retrieve the contents of the blocks collection in the source drawing in some clever way other than opening it (a bit like browsing using the design centre) ?

Is 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.

I need to view a block definition from an out-of-process app (written in C#).
The app uses True View Acctrl to as a viewer.
It works fine for whole dwgs, but when it comes to viewing just one block definition' the best I could come up with was:
<pseudo code>
start a new Autocad instance;
open the dwg in Autocad;
perform a Wblock of the block definition to some temporary file;
open and view the file in the Acctrl;
erase the temporary file;
</pseudo code>
It seems clumsy though.
Is there any API for doing this? (preferably not higher than Acad 2008)

I have a small vba sub wich changes the color and layer of all entities inside a block. It seems to work pretty well for the majority of blocks, but then if I try that on a dynamic block, the definition is correctly altered, but the references aren't updated...
I know for a fact that the definition has been correctly modified because if I type bedit, I can see the definition is modified. Then, in the block editor, if I save the block, the references are correctly updated.
How to force references to update after I made the modifications inside the definition ?
I searched for methods within the VBA Reference and I tried blockRef.Update but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

How to mimic Block Definition Save As function.
So far what I have found in this forum and TheSwamp the best way is to use DeepClone of BlockTableRecord but the objects in original BlockTableRecord need to be DeepCloneObjectes into new block. Otherwise new block will have all objects with ObjectId from old BlockTabkeRecord.

What order of operations do you use to include multiple attributes in a WBlock definition? I can't figure out to include all of attributes and have them in a specific order.

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.

I need to match few attribute values from one block to different block. I download a lisp file called; ca.lsp which can match the single attribute value. I modified it for more than one attribute value matching. It is ok but still wish to overcome two issues for batch prcess
1. picking up the blocks by selection
2. click the alternative block numbers of times to match the numbers of attribute values I needed.
How to modify this lisp I can run it by block name selections instead of picking selection which enable me to run batch process for numbers of drawing? That will be good...
Lisp & Demo file attached (Match attribute value, A, B & C to Attribute 1, 2 & 3).

Is there a way that I can create a block with text ('A') and when I insert the block and populate the block another block block will update also? I am wanting to create a block for x-sec flags, and detail callouts that update their detail titles.

I have 2 drawings with the following content :
Drawing 1 : Contains tree blocks that have a specific scale dependant on the tree size
Drawing 2 : Contains a block with just a point and attribute data about the tree (name, size etc.)
This block is approximatly at the same location as the tree block (0,1 m precision)
Problem I want to join these two items together. In other words, in the tree block that is scaled correctly i want the attribute data with the name, size etc. These blocks don't have a corresponding unique number or something like that.
