AutoCad :: Attribute In Title Block Exists In Block Editor But Not In Project
Sep 6, 2012Autocad 2011, Electrical package,
I have an existing title block a few text attributes, to which I wish to add a watermark. I have added it in the block editor as a normal attribute, with the same details as the other attributes that work, only a different tag name. It has a default value, "DRAFT" and is tagged "WMARK". It works fine in the Block Editor, and If I test the block I can edit it to display whatever I want, but if I save the block and open it from Autocad proper, the attribute is not in existence, either as a default value, or editable from block properties, attribute editor or title block editor, whereas all of the other attributes are there. I have used BattMan to verify the settings of the attribute, and the only difference is that the others all have "L" in the "Modes" column, but I think that means that their position is "locked" whereas my new attribute is justified "aligned" therefore cannot be "locked" (This is some assumption on my part, as the documentation on the "Modes" column is almost non-existent). I cannot afford to waste much more time on this issue, as the boss is breathing down my neck, but editing watermarks on every drawing after every revision is frustrating, when it could be an attribute that is editable from the title block editor.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom Title Block Information
Feb 13, 2013I've argued this repeatedly with the powers that be at my small company and they're set on some old methods that I'm trying to figure out how to make happen.
We often have weldments where we do an assembled view on page 1 and balloon it and have a parts list. Pages 2-4 will be the details of the welded parts. On page 1, I bring in the "Title" and "Subject" fields from the assembly iProperties.
Here's the tricky part. On pages 2+, I don't want to bring in those two fields, I want to bring in something different. Is it possible to differentiate like that?
Second part of the question: is there a way to pull the balloon item number from page 1 into a field somewhere on following pages? For example: page 3 may show the details for "item 2". Can I bring the value of that balloon (item 2) into page 3 somehow?
AutoCAD Inventor :: Place Different Information In Title Block On Each Drawing?
Apr 13, 2012I was curious, when creating multi sheet drawings, how can I place different information in the title block on each drawing?
Example, 2 pages, Description on page 1 = PAGE 1 DESC, by default this same description will show up on all subsequent pages. How do I get page 2 description to be different?

Once i added it, after the entire title block was done, it moved it to the very bottom on the list. Is there a way to "Move Up" so that it's with the other Rev 1 group?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Inserting Text Attribute In Title Block
Nov 13, 2013starting a new job at work so setting up the job folder etc. grabbed the title block and the text attribute insert from the library.....
so here is when the issue started.....so title block and text attribute are both saved in model space, both have all the same settings, this also applies to the template we have here all match.
so i xref in my title page at 1:1 which comes in normal, then i insert my attribute block in at 1:1 but it comes in at some super size thing, normal 3.5 text size is now 1000......
have fiddled with everything gone back to the library set etc but got no idea.
the interesting bit is if i open the title block and insert the attribute block in, it comes in perfect......
so in saying that i am assuming it is the work template..... but none of this has changed for over a month and have created drawings since then........maybe a random setting somewhere has changed but again haven't done anything different to normal no new radical changes....
i have attached a copy of the title block and the text attribute.

Oct 3, 2012I am currently trying to make my AutoCad more powerful as a tool of Engineer but not Draftmen (My boss never thing about it, I could only get a standard AutoCAD, not AutoCAD-EMP).
I want to make it a tool for myself to analysis the building system, with excel (and VBA)
The first tool I wanted to create is an underground drainage capacity analysis tool. But I meet the first difficulty, how can I automatically transfer the information inside CAD drawing to the excel?
Say, There is a drainage system with 2 manhole and 1 pipe,
the Manhole have 3 attribute : Name, Model, Level, (and the X-Y coordination),
I Create a Block with attribute "Name ; Model ; Level".
and then I insert the Blocks and place it in correct location inside the Layout Plan.
How can I create some script to "Scan" all Block inside the drawing and make an excel file with data like:
Block-Serial, X-Coor, Y-Coor, Rotated Angle, Name, Model, Level.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Drawing Scale As Defined Attribute In Title Block
Mar 13, 2012Is it possible to create a 'drawing scale' defined attribute inside my title block when brought into paper space? I tried setting it up using 'plotscale' fieldname with various formats and it keeps coming in as 1" = 1' or 1:1 rather than 1" = 20' because that's what my plot scale is inside paper space but my drawing scale is 20 scale. If I bring the title block in model space, it adjusts, but I don't plot from model space. Surely there's a way to make this automated inside paper space.
Also, I just setup a 'Date' attribute inside my title block today. What's the difference between Date, Saved Date and Plot Date? Will 'Date' update if its in a drawing and opened up a month from now and saved or do i need to take 'Date' out and replace with 'Saved Date' or Plot Date'?.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Export - Title Block Attribute Tags Renamed
Sep 2, 2008I have an Inventor 2009 idw template that I have setup for export to AutoCAD. Once it's in AutoCAD format I have to run a script file from my customer that checked attributed fields in certain blocks in the AutoCAD file. In IV2008 the title block names were changed on export to adding "title blocks" to the beginning. Which I delt with. But now in IV2009 all the TAG names in each block are also renamed on export to adding "_001" to the end of each TAG name. Is there any way to keep the same naming on export to AutoCAD for blocks and sketch symbols so I don't have a write a bunch of script files for the AutoCAD file?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Automating Changes To Title Block Date Attribute?
Jul 18, 2011I'm using Autocrat 2004.
I have a attributed titleblock. Sometime in the future I will need to change the date attribute to another value, i.e.. 7-11 to 9-11.
I can't place a text string in the title block because this title block is used for multiple drawings and the date will be different for different sets. I can't have numerous title blocks because of the client's requirements.
Question:
Is there a way to write a script to open a drawing, look for the specific attribute, change the date value, save and close the drawing - across multiple sheets? Would a lisp routine called by the script be able to do this? Or a script file called by the original script file? CAn you even use a script file in this manner?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Batch Rename Using Attribute From Title Block
Oct 22, 2009I am working on a large project where a 3rd Party firm has turned over 100s of drawings that we need to get into our system. The problem is that they did not name their physical files properly. We have a particular numbering system for our drawings, the engineering firm did fill in our attributed title block properly and used our numbering system correctly within the drawing. However, their physical file name follows their format. We need to have the physical file name match the information in the title block to get into our system.
Is there a way to "Batch Rename" these files by reaching into the title block and then renaming the physical file to match the attribute?
I have to be honest, I may use AutoCAD 50 to 60 hours per week, but I am no programmer! I am just the go-to person here for AutoCAD whom is stuck trying to come up with a efficient solution for the project team whose engineering firm could not follow our procedures! I was hoping some sort of batch routine could take care of this problem for us instead of us having to individually rename each physical file one by one.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Retaining Title Block Prompted Entries When Changing Title Blocks
Apr 26, 2013The title blocks that we use have prompted entries in them and I would like to find a way using iLogic to copy the entries from one title block to another within the same drawing; i.e.. if the user decides to change from an A2 to A1 drawing.
I already have an iLogic rule which allows the user to change the active border, title block and sheet size based on a form selection but would like it to capture the prompted entries already entered and re-use them after the change.
