AutoCad :: Attributes Won't Show Up?

Dec 2, 2011

I'm using AutoCAD LT 2010 and I'm trying to create attributes for a title block (sheet title, project #, etc.) and I can't get the attribute to show up. I do not have "invisible" checked, and I can't think of what else the problem might be. When I create a block with the attribute inside a box, the box shows up but the text does not.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Attributes Won't Show In XREF

Feb 5, 2013

I 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 2D :: Alter 2 Attributes / Show Properties Of Field For Attribute

Dec 11, 2013

I 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?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Command Line Doesn't Show Prompts For Attributes?

Apr 6, 2012

We 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!

AutoCAD 2013 :: Attributes Show Up As Text Without Manual Text Entry?

May 16, 2012

I 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 2D :: Rotate Block With Attributes - Messed Attributes

Jan 23, 2012

From the attached image you can see what I'm talking about.

(left=original, middle=ROTATE, right=PROPERTIES)

When I rotate blocks using ROTATE command everything is fine, but when I rotate blocks using PROPERTIES my attributes get messed.

I need to rotate several blocks at once with PROPERTIES, because I don't have time to rotate each one separately.

The same thing happens when scaling blocks, but this was resolved using the command BSCALE in the command line.

Oct 24, 2013

What I want to do is change multiple splines from "Show Control Vertices" to "Show Fit Points"

The problem is I have over 500 to do, and I cannot select each one individually and do it. It would do my head in.

AutoCAD .NET :: How To Sync Attributes

How do I sync attributes without using sendcommand or SendStringToExecute. Reason being I am looping the blocks and creating attributes.  sendcommand or SendStringToExecute occurs only after the .net command is finished. what I want is that it should sync attributes in the program itself.

AutoCAD LT :: Export Attributes To Txt?

Mar 1, 2012

I've been fighting with the attribute exporter for several hours and can't get anything to generate except for a blank txt file.  Below is an example of my template

BL:NAME C008000
DESCRIPTION C016000

I would eventually like to export several more attributes that my blocks have but I figure I should simplify it as much as possible for now.  I do have a blank like at the end of the text script.

I've also attached my block that has the attributes I'm attempting to extract.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: SDF To Blocks With Attributes?

May 19, 2013

I'm looking for a map tool that can convert feature data from an SDF file or SHP to autocad block's with attributes data. My client just want blocks with attributes and dont work with sdf or similares, they extract the attributes and then work them in other software, so, i wonder if there is a autocad map tool that make the conversion from feature data SDF to blocks with attributes, that will make the work mutch more easier and fast. 

Other question relational with blocks. How can we link block attributes and excell in real time, where i could change cells data in excell and the update happens in the open drawing and vice-versa?

And would like to know if there is a way to make this happen without vba tools or lisp's...just with map tools.

AutoCad :: Attributes Don't Xref In

Jun 30, 2011

I'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.

AutoCad 2D :: How To Create Attributes

Apr 12, 2013

I have a question about creating title blocks with attributes. I know how to create attributes and I know how to draw title blocks but when you create a title block with attributes does it have to be saved as a dwg when you do the wblock command? And what about the viewport? Do I have to create the viewport every time I insert the title block? Normally I just use the template I created and fill in the date, page number so on. I would like to automate this with attributes to reduce chances of mistakes.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Getting TDS RAW Survey Attributes Into It?

Dec 15, 2010

We process survey data using Attributes to add extra intelligence and reduce errors.

For example, when shooting trees, the RAW file will contain something like this:

SS,OP 50,FP1299,AR308.2057,ZE91.0918,SD128.282,--TREE
FC,PN1299,FNTREE
AT,TNSZ,TV11.0
AT,TNTY,TVMAPLE

or when shooting a street sign:

SS,OP 50,FP1437,AR324.1135,ZE91.4728,SD123.235,--SIGN
FC,PN1437,FNSIGN
AT,TNTY,TVNO PARKING

The FC code sets up that attribute information will follow for the point number indicated by PN and the FN is basically explaining the name of the feature type. On the collector, this is all menu driven, making for few data entry errors.

The AT codes list the attributes name TN and then the TV reports its value.

Is there a way to preserve these attributes and their data when processing them into an FBK? Ideally, they would need to become part of a point description.

When processing this for that "other" CADD package, I am able to use these values in building labels for my survey points.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Saving Map To DWG With Block Attributes

Apr 20, 2012

I have used the FDO to connect to my SHP files. I have used one data attribute to get a rotation for my blocks. I have also used a feature Label to display the text I am interested in.

When I save to DWG, the feature labels come in as Text. I would like the text to go to the correct block attribute.

Is there a way to do this? I did not see anything in the Style Editor to use my blocks' attributes, only the geometry.

I am aware of using MAPIMPORT to set attributes from the data, but they do not come in rotated, and I have more conditions on which block to use, not just one field to decide the block name.

AutoCAD .NET :: Editing Attributes In A Block

Mar 15, 2012

I'm trying to edit the attributes in a titleblock using VB.net. The block name is "Titleblock". It is already inserted into a drawing. My program does not need to insert it. It only needs to find the reference, for all layouts, and update a couple attributes for the titleblock on everylayout. I know some of the basics, but get confused with blocktables, and blocktablerecords.

Here is a piece of code I was experimenting with. With this code, I'm trying to get to the attributes, and read an attribute value for a drawing number.  It fails when I try to assign a value to the variable blkreftitle.

Dim
doc AsDocument = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
Using docLoc AsDocumentLock = doc.LockDocument
Dim db AsDatabase = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase

AutoCAD .NET :: Plot DWG With Centered Attributes

Jan 16, 2012

My routine inserts in modelspace different blocks with attributes in it with justification "Center".After the blocks are inserted and the attributes are filled, it all looks good in Autocad.Then I want to plot the DWG.

The problem is that the centered attributes in the plot are then justified to "Left" ?When I run my routine the second time in the same drawing then it goes well.It looks like the attributes or blockreference isn't updated well in the database after insert?

      public static BlockReference InsertBlockReference(Database database, string filename, string blockname, Point3d
        insertionpoint, Scale3d scalefactor)
         {
             using (DocumentLock documentLock = Active.Document.LockDocument())
