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 Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Transfer Attribute Block Values To Another Attribute Blocks
Jul 3, 2012I wanna transfer my attribute block values to another attribute text blocks , is there any lisp for that?
Is there a possibility for sum tag values of choice attribute blocks to inside of another attribute text block ?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Convert Attribute Tag Into Attribute Value?
Dec 8, 2011Background: Someone exploded an attribute block and copied it hundreds of times throughout a project, each time changing the Attribute Tag to match the Value they expected to appear in their drawing. The drawing must be xrefed, so the attribute definitions do not appear.
(There is only 1 attribute in the block.)
Proposed Solutions:
1:AutoLISP routine which copies Tag data from Attribute Definition into Value of Attribute Block:
Prompt-Select Attribute Definition
Copy Tag data
Prompt-Select Attribute Block
Paste data into Value
(Allow repeat to speed workflow)(*PREFERRED*)
2:AutoLISP routine which copies Tag data from Attribute Definition into Default Value and creates a new Block:
Prompt-Select Attribute Definition
Copy Tag data
Paste data into Default Value
Create New Block
(Select Multiple Objects)(Creates tons of new blocks which are messy)
AutoCAD .NET :: Attribute Reference Text String MText Attribute
Mar 16, 2012I am using M Text Attributes to store imperial lengths in the drawing, feet inches and fractions (stacked). When I read back the Text String property which, is the M text Attribute.Contents parsed, I am having problems because the parser does not add a space between the inch and the fraction. So, is there any setting that could be used to tell the parser to add the space between the inch and the fraction?

Oct 5, 2012What 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.

Jun 15, 2013I want to copy attribute values. I'm making a catalogue of all the reinforcements in my drawing so I need to name those reinforcements. So what I want is to make a string of text that I don't need to totally modify everytime. Something like this:
Amount of reinforcement bars - 5
Diameter of the reinforcement - 12
Division of reinforcing bars - 100
Reinforcement bars: 5-T12-k100
So the only attributes I'd edit would be the first three not the last one. So how can this be accomplished?

AutoCAD VB :: Getting Constant Attribute
Mar 20, 2012How I would be able to grab the block constant attribute by searching via tag.
e.g. block has a constant attribute 'Color' with value of 'red' and I wish to attain 'red'
I am currently obtaining non constant attributes using:
Dim attRef As AttributeReference = DirectCast(tr.GetObject(attId, OpenMode.ForRead), AttributeReference)
and grabbing the '.textstring' when looking at the '.tag'
How do I go about this with similar logic but pointing to constant attributes? I have tried searching thoroughly and almost all results for me were in VBA.

AutoCAD LT :: Editing Attribute Definitions
Jun 7, 2013I am creating a series of Blocks representing cable terminations with labels at each end for terminal number, wire number and wire color for each twisted-cable pair, ie six labels for each pair. There will be blocks for cable configurations with different numbers of pairs. Having created the first block for a single pair, it should be easy to develop the multiple pair versions by copying the elements and renaming the labels, but I have to edit each attribute definition individually - is there a way of globally editing the definitions in the same way that you can edit attribute values when the block is used; eg if I have attribute Tags T1, W1, C1 and want to rename them to T2, W2, C2?

AutoCAD .NET :: Attribute Alignment Never Updates?
Sep 10, 2013In Autocad I'm programmatically settign the alignment of an attribute to MiddleCenter. Looking at the attribute I can see that the alignment is set properly. However, the alignment does visually update itself.
I'm able to manually update the allignment if I open the Enhanced Attribute Editor and make any change. If any property is updated, the attribute "realizes" it needs to update the alignment.
How can I make AutoCAD automatically update the alignment? Here is a current snippet of my code. In this particular instance "result" will contain 004 as a string:
attribute.TextString = result
attribute.Alignment = AcAlignment.acAlignmentMiddleCenter
attribute.Update()
