Whenever I cut and paste a picture into it, the pasted picture becomes "Layer 1" but I want it to paste onto a layer which is already there (rather than become a new layer).

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to add some attributes to an existing block using the block editor, but after I save and close it I cannot see any 'placeholders' despite adding a default value and the attributes work fine when I double click the block.
I've tried using the ATTSYNC and BATTMAN commands but nothing works and there are no invisibility states applied to either the attribute or block and all layers are switched on.
I just tried making a quick block from scratch and it seems to have the same affect, except the default value will show, but no 'placeholder' shown if left blank.
I swear with previous version I could see the tag when a value hadn't been applied, so is it that the version I now use (2012) does not have this feature or it's disabled?
I was wondering if it would be possible to convert an existing block to a leader that uses the same block with the arrow attached without losing the information which is stored inside the block attributes.
I have created the multi leader with the block definition attached but I'm still struggling to incorporate the data into it.
There are to many blocks to do this manually. I have exported the data to a excel but do not know how to insert it back into to multi leader.
I am copying and pasting a block from one drawing to another but as soon as I past it, AutCAD stops responding. I have done purging and auditing and still can't solve the issue.
I am using Autocad Architecture 2012.
When pasting a block from a drawing to a second drawing using the clipboard method the block pasted in with components of block in different area of drawing but still linked together. This even happened in the same drawing.

My problem is the following : I explode a block reference in dotnet (it works well) and I want to change the items layer that compose the bloc reference. It's the reason why i need to browse items of this block.
when I am working on a large drawing and/or pasting as a block, all the grey lines (colour 8) turn to white. When I select a grey line, it flicks back to grey, but de-select, and it's white again.
If I toggle on hardware acceleration, the problem is fixed for a short while, and also if I turn it off, it is fixed for a short while, and also if I save, close and re-open it's good untill I paste a block....
I suspect it may be because of my setup and an un tested graphics card:

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to create a new block based on a existing block(need the same shape), then overlay on top of the existing one.
1. create a new block based on the existing one. the existing block is solid but I need to give pattern to new one
2. overlay on top of the existing one
I new how to create a block generally, but doesn't know how to create based on an existing one.
Is there anyway of re-naming an existing block without creating a new one? I made a rookie mistake of naming my blocks with names containing spaces i.e. 'block A' and 'block B' and have found that some routines like replace block won't work because of it.

Can you add Attributes to a exsiting block without ,exploding it ,and remaking it?
I have made a dynamic window block and forgot to add the attribute annotation I wanted.
Tried to edit the block and add it, but when I save it and reopen the block it does not show.the attribute.
we have a block that we use to identify rooms. that block has 3 attributes: rooms name, rooms number and surface area.
A former colleague once showed me how to do this but I can't reach him... How can I inquire the data from an area and tag-it right to the surface area attribute of my block? I don't mean pick a pline, list and edit the block... it's something like pick the closed pline and the "area" data is displayed in the right tag of my block?
I am using the following function to create a block:
(defun crea-blocco (ip blockname gruppoogg / blkobj sArray c r vla-objects doc) (setq c -1) (repeat (sslength gruppoogg) (setq r (cons (ssname gruppoogg (setq c (1+ c))) r)) ) (setq r (reverse r)) (setq vla-objects (mapcar 'vlax-ename->vla-object r)) (setq doc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) (setq blkobj (vla-add (vla-get-blocks doc) (vlax-3d-point ip) blockname)) (setq sArray (vlax-safearray-fill (vlax-make-safearray vlax-vbObject (cons 0 (1- (length vla-objects)))) vla-objects)) (vla-copyobjects doc sArray blkobj) blkobj)
But if I start this function two times with the same block name, I get a block with the selected objects added to the existing block.

All this is created in block editor.
Presently if I insert a block into my drawing - and a block with the same name exists - the newly inserted block takes on the definition which exists in the receiving drawing . How do I reverse this i.e. I want to be able to overwrite the existing block definition by inserting the new wblock version.

How to use an existing company title block incorporated into the map book template?
I am hoping to link text items between pages and items in the drawing such as elevations?
So, ideally, I would have a front page to my drawing set, and this would have a 'Contents' type table on it, with the title name of each drawing in one column, then the drawing number in the next column. This is the tricky bit, someone must know: If i was to change the name / number of any item in this table, could it change also (linked to) the following items:
Drawing title (as a text idem on the layout sheet that that drawing relates to)
Drawing number (as a text idem on the layout sheet that that drawing relates to)
Elevation call-out (on the plan view)
And possibly:
Excel reference cell
Drawing layout tab title (this might be pushing it!!)
Perhaps this could be done by linking to an external Excel spreadsheet with these titles modified in there? I'm not sure. This would be ideal as typing into excel is a lot easier than the triple click text modify method required currently.
I waste a lot of time renaming and updating sheet names / titles / numbers. Are there standard templates for drawing sets that may have this built in available anywhere that I could try?
new to dynamic blocks but looking to streamline my wiring diagrams here and have created a block that shows the typical wire styles we use in a simple easy way. I now want to add an overall flip to the entire block and have not been able to find set this. I would prefer to use the same label and go from there. I have included the block to show what I mean. It is only working on the single visible item at the one time. I know this has to be possible just let me know what I am doing wrong. I am running AutoCad LT 2013
