AutoCAD VB :: 2011 Batch Convert Field Attribute To Text Attribute In Blocks Using VBA
Jun 3, 2011I've got hundreds of files to convert.
In VBA, how can I batch convert field attributes in blocks to text attributes while retaining the blocks? Is there a simple way to univerally convert them all at onceusing VBA? The plotted values for the fields must be retained, too.
Explode will not retain the value of the field.
Burst will not work as it explodes the blocks as well.
You can right-click on the field and slelct "Convert to text" from the RCM. So I know that the process exists within CAD, just need to batch the process for a quantity of DWGs at a time - in VBA.

AutoCAD LT :: Field Referencing Block Attribute
Apr 9, 2013I am trying to insert a text field into a block attribute and setting that field to display the information of an attribute in another block. What happens is that when I close the file and re-open it the text field loses its connection to the attribute that it is referencing.
Now, I have been able to make this work in the passed, however the difference now is that I am asking the text field to reference an attribute of an annotative block. That appears to be the reason it does not work.
How to make this work with annotative blocks? Is it a system variable I can change?
AutoCad :: Use A Field To Read Attribute Within Block
Jan 8, 2013See block attached.
I created an attribute called ScaleA1, which I want to double click on this block and enter that number.
Then I created a text object with 2 fields in it. The first field is set to read the Value of that Attribute. The second field is a formula (2*Value of Attribute).
However, instead of the field displaying the Value of the Attribute, it displays the Default of the Attribute.
I hope to fix this bug so that it will update when I change the attribute from paper space.
Currently it will only update if I go into the block editor and change the default of this attribute.
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Field Value Not Updating Attribute Value
Jan 29, 2013I have created a rectangle whose length changes.The value of the paameter "Dist1" is this length field that I associate to the attribute value. Basically, echo length from Dist1 into the attrib value.
The problem is when I insert the block into the drawing the value is shown as "DIST1", even after regen.
Once I pull the grip point to a new length and regen it still shows "DIST1".
If I go into the ddedit and select the edit box (for multiline data field) the shown value will correct itself, but only one time.
If I change the length again, the dimension does not update.
It worked fine when I tested the block but is having issues days later.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Choose Attribute / Field Data From A List
Mar 28, 2012How to choose the attribute or field data from a list?
When using the “title block”, attributes and fields to better control the information that belongs to the drawing, then it worth to have a feature that allows selecting this information from a LIST.
For example, if we need to specify “location” of the project, then it is better to have sort of list from which we can select the location of the project the same we do it in the Excel (as shown in the screenshot below).
Is there such feature in the AutoCAD? To choose the information from a list?

Jul 16, 2013I have a dynamic block.
It has length and width stretch actions activated by grips. (Works fine).
It has an attribute for the user to type in a height value. (attribute insert box appears on block insert and when double clicking block).
It has Mtext "worktop [field] High" the [field] is looking at the attribute value so in theory should return the value the user types. But no only ---- shows. regen/regenall/battman fieldeval 31

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Put Field Formula In Attribute Value?
Sep 7, 2011I am trying to put a field formula in an attribute value. Basically I have a block that has a attribute called QTY and it is equal to 1. I can get the object property to equal 1 with this expression:
%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%
The expression above will show a value equal to 1 (as I would expect)
Lets say I have two blocks now and I have the lisp routine combine the field values to get the expression below.
%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%+%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%
In the attribute dialog box it will show 1+1 instead of 2. My question is how do I get it to show 2 with out opening the formula box and evaluating it?
I have also tried.
%<AcExpr(%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%)+(%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%)>%
and
%<AcExpr((%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%)+(%<AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId #########>%).Textstring>%))>%

View 7 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD LT :: Importing Drawing As Block With Field References To Attribute Values
Nov 25, 2013We have generic drawings of assemblies we use in layout drawings as standard details. We insert them as blocks with one or two dimensions that vary (geometry remains the same-these are just representative for information).
We could define these as attribute values so that a user types a length that displays in the drawing but if we wish this to be part of a dimension we would have to explode the dimension to manually replace the mtext dim value with an attribute tag.
This seems unsubtle so I edited the dim value to be a field referencing the attribute value and made the tag invisible. This worked in the drawing-the attached shows the attribute tag ALL THREAD and the resultant dimension text (as a field value) replaced with the default value LENGTH.
When the drawing is inserted as a block it duly prompts for a value for ALLTHREAD and any value can be typed-`1200, 3500, 1672 etc. but the dimension does not update from the default value LENGTH, even after using attsync, regenall. So, if the drawing recognizes the attribute then how come it cant recognize the graphic via a field reference and update it? Is it buried too deep in the database hierarchy for LT to make sense of it maybe?
I dont want to explode the dim but it looks like I may have too if this cannot be made to work.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Sheet Set Publish Alters Attribute That Is NOT A Field (makes SSM Useless)
Aug 11, 2013I am using the Sheet Set manager to just publish my drawings to the named plotter (Adobe PDF). I an NOT using any fields. I do not have any sheet numbers assigned in the sheet set. Each drawing is a separate file with only one layout tab in each file. On each drawing, the sheet title and drawing number are within an attributed block, with the drawing number in an attribute with a tag of SHEETNO. Everything is in RomanS. Single sheets plot fine. This is the only sheet set.
The problem is that the sheet number are altered when I use Sheet Set Publish to make a multi-sheet PDF. The manually inserted plain-text sheet numbers are all in the format X#.# (A1.1, A2.3, etc.). Two things happen:
1. The number after the period is printed in a different font on all sheets (NOT RomanS - the ends of the stroke are square) .
2. Over half the numbers are changed (the first sheet, the cover, is blank and not changed):
T1.1 -> T1.- (the dash character)
A1.1 -> A1.1 (OK number)
A2.1 -> A2.1 (OK number)
A2.2 -> A2. 1 (note the extra space)
A2.3 -> A2.2
A3.1 -> A3.3
A4.1 -> A4.1 (OK number)
A4.3 -> A4. 2 (note the extra space)
A8.1 -> A8.3
A9.1 -> A9.1 (OK number)
AutoCAD 2009 on Window 7. No other similar problems.
As it is, Sheet Set Publish is useless. (I know, get an updated version of AutoCAD - it's in the works).
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Extract Field Expression of Attribute In Block
Mar 8, 2012Is that possible to have a lisp to extract the Field Expression of a attribute in a block?Specifically, to extract the property VALUE (TextString) of this attribute.After to extract, I would like to put this text extracted in a different layout tab, in the same drawing. In this way, I will have a text linked to the attribute value between two layout tabs. So, when I have to change the attribute value, the text will be updated automatically.
I know that if I use the FIELD command to manually copy and paste this value it will work, but when I have a lot of attributes it becomes very laborious.

So, is there any setting that could be used to tell the parser to add the space between the inch and the fraction?
