I have been making a title box for my drawing layout and have been using attributes. all my attributes open in the 'Enhanced Attributes Editor'. But for my Scale option, i was wondering if there was any way of creating a drop down list in the enhanced attributes editor instead of typing the value in each time?
View 9 RepliesI was given a customers title block but there are no defined attributes. I'm using AutoCad Electrical 2010. I have to double click on the title block and the edit block definition box pops up. I select the block to edit and click ok. I would like to use the enhanced attribute editor on these title blocks. Is there a way to define the attributes on this kind of title block using the enhanced attribute editor?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe've just started using an attribute in a dynamic block and I'm curious if there is a faster way to edit the text, like how you just click outside the dtext or mtext editor to save and exit. the editor.
We only need to edit the value field, not any of the other attritubes. I really like how the dynamic block is saving us some time, but the outdated editor is really irritating, and it's not always convenient to hit Tab then Enter on the keyboard.
Is there perhaps an alternate editor, or a way I can edit the value text in the mtext editor by default rather than opening up the Enhanced Attribute Editor?

Just upgraded (not sure it was truely an upgrade) to LT 2013. When double-clicking an attribute in LT 2009 a nice dialog box popped up that could be tabbed through to each attribute. In 2013 the Enhanced Attribute Dialog box will not allow tabbing, you have to physically click on each attribute item then go to another spot in the box and click again to make the change.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen in the attribute editor, after you edit an attribute then click "select blocks", to choose a new block to edit, an alert appears telling you that an attribute in the block has changes and asks if you want to save these changes. I ALWAYS want to save these changes...
Therefore, my question is, is there a way to turn that alert off or suppress it?
Is there any Event when The enhanced properties editor dialogue show out? I want to do something when the dialogue is showing.
I first use the CommandWillStart Event to catch the "EATTEDIT" order ,however,if only covers the condition that users doubleClick the block .when users first input EATTEDIT command then select the block this event was wrong!

View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there somone who can explain/show a sample of how a custom drop-down list in OPM can be implemented? Based on some articels by Kean Walmsley, I have successfully implemented categorized properties in the OPM using a .NET wrapper and C#. I have a class imlementing the members of the IDynamic EnumProperty, ICategorizeProperties and IDynamicProperty2 interfaces (based on ObjectARX 2013).
However, I do not really understand how to code custom drop-down list using .NET wrapper and OPM. I am using AutoCAD 2013 and 2014. I have read a lot of posts regarding OPM but there was no useful information in regards to create custom drop-down lists.
I am mainly developing for AutoCAD 2013/2014 how to implement a custom property as a drop-down list using OPM and .NET/C# wrapper. I have successfully created categorized custom properties already and can read/save them in XRecords via the OPM. I further implemented the members for IDynamicEnumProperty (using an ObjectARX DLL) in .NET/C# which are:
// ENUM-PROPERTY INTERFACE METHODS DEFINITIONenum myEnum{ steel = 0, copper, wood};public void GetNumPropertyValues( int numValues ){ numValues = 3;}public void GetPropValueName( int index, out String valueName ){ valueName = Enum.GetName(typeof(myEnum), index);}public void GetPropValueData( int index, ref Object valueName ){ valueName = index;}
And I have implemented the GetCurrentValueData() and SetCurrentValueData() members in my .NET/C# wrapper as per the IDynamicProperty2 interface as following:
public void GetCurrentValueData( Object pUnk, ref Object varData ) {AcadObject obj = pUnk as AcadObject; if ( obj != null ){using ( Active .Document.LockDocument( DocumentLockMode.ProtectedAutoWrite, null, null, true ) ){using ( var tr = Active.Transaction ){ObjectId ObjId = new ObjectId( (IntPtr) obj.ObjectID ); DBObject DbObj = tr.GetObject( ObjId, OpenMode.ForRead ); if ( DbObj != null ){try {if (

This code compiles without error but instead of the expected drop-down list the OPM only shows a field where I can enter or edit integer numbers, but there is no drop-down list when clicking on the field....
I want to make a price list, using attributes in block and then extracting them to cell matching some cells with excel
While in data extr wizard for some reason I cant get the size column to set in ascending order.. Why does size 10 brake the logic?
Can I edit the extracted data without launching data extr wizard?
Data extr wizard brings a data in one table what if I want the table to display other types of attribute ( example see pic for instance instead of EL i have SS no problem until now, but my matched data link in excel is for EL and not for SS)
Its hard to explain Basicly i selected the column in excel for one type of attribute "EL" and I want fo a different name of same attribute different cell matching.

my job is to make an editor for blocks in C#. There should be a WPF-window were the user can see a list of blocks. He selects one and than he should see an overview about block attributes like insertionpoint, basepoint, rotation and scaling and he should be able to edit these attributes in this form.
I know how i can populate a list of block names, but I fail at finding an opportunity to edit these attributes.
I get the blocktablerecords, but then?
If I click the dropdown list in open command dialog, to select differnet location, it goes blank, after that nothing works,
Need to restart autcad.
how to sloce this issue?
I had reinstalled 2 times but still the problem persists
This happened recently. No matter what preferences I reset or options I click it wont show all the attributes. I go to the school, file is fine. I can see everything when I select control handles.
I uninstalled everything, cleaned registry. rebooted. reinstalled. Still have the problem. It should show all the attributes for translate and rotation. I tried the same file on different computers and it shows them all selected.
how to create a nested drop down list in a ribbon panel.
is it even possible. It must be, but I don’t know how Autodesk managed to do it in the C3D.cuix for the create ground data panel, point drop down.
second question, where is the icon for a drop down list saved.
looking at a C3D dropdown list icon there is no path to the icon, but when I create one it shows a path.
X4. When I add a drop shadow to anything the variable attributes do not appear on the property bar, ie "flat bottom right" at top left and then the choice of colours etc. I know by now where they are so click on where I think they are, but it's annoying. I have deleted, run a reg cleaner and re-installed + added the SP2 updates.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create blocks on the fly by drawing a polyline, using a jig, and then grabbing that polyline and creating a block from it.
I'm not interested in block names, so anonymous blocks seem to be the way to go. I've successfully managed to create the block and even add attributes to it. However, if I try and use battman or attsync AutoCAD tells me that "This drawing contains no attributed blocks." I can however double-click on the block and go to the enhanced attribute editor, which shows me the attributes with the tags I've given them. Exploding the block reveals that there is no nesting occuring.
My attributes seem to be stck in limbo...
The function that creates the stand is:
{ Transaction trans = ed.Document.TransactionManager.StartOpenCloseTransaction(); try { //create new instance of the polyline jig polylineJig.polylineJig plJig = new polylineJig.polylineJig(); promptStatusResult = plJig.newJig(); if

where the setting for the size of type/font preview drop down is located in CS6, it used to be located under pref->type->type preview - but apparently not anymore. I'm probably "blind", they surely did include this option in CS6?
(A thing I find annoying in CS6 is how short the font drop down list is, only covers 1/3 of the height of my resolution, even though I have hundreds of fonts activated - requires a lot of scrolling! I really hope this gets larger if it is possible to have larger previews)
I'm trying to populate a drop down field with the list of available printers. Here's what I have:
var printerList = app.printerList;
var w = new Window ("dialog");
w.orientation = 'row';
var dropDown = w.add("statictext", undefined, "Please select the printer");
var dropDown = w.add ("dropdownlist", undefined, printerList);
dropDown.selection = 0;
var buttonGroup = w.add ("group");
buttonGroup.add ("button", undefined, "OK");
w.center();
w.show();
This will populate a drop down with "Printer, Printer, Printer, Printer" for each printer instead of the name of the printer (which is what I want).
When I try:
var printerList = app.printerList.name;
I get a drop down of blank entries.
How exactly does the printerList work?
When the block is in a drawing and I click it, it takes me to block editor.
However if I go to it in block editor and test block it allows me to change the attributes.
Why does clicking the block go to block editor and not allow me to change its attributes as it does when I test block.
I have bought the hard copy version of corel draw Suit X5 and waiting for it. I originally dwn loaded it from the web and so did my son. We are working on a project together. He found TT-Musical Symbols in his dwn loaded version and I do not have it on my dwn load version. Do you have TT-Musical Symbols in your drop down text? and or when you dwn loaded the trail version, have you got it?
