AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Block With Attributes That Automatically Complete X / Y And Z For Insertion Point Of Block?
Feb 14, 2013Is there a way to create a block with attributtes that automatically complete x, y, z, lat, long for the insertion point of the block?
I am trying to complete text in paperspace that will automatically fill in the lat long of a point in model space without using a table. I have tried field insertion with reference to a cogo point, but it doesn't give options for position on a cogo point. If I pick a block with attributes, it will let me pick any attributes, and x,y position for the block.
Cogo points show all the information I need to propagate in the properties....but how do I get that to translate into the text using fields or some other method?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Create Block - Add Attributes Automatically
Nov 3, 2013How I can modify this code to create a block, ask for a new name for the block, then add the attributes listed inside the code below to the new created block. The lisp does a wonderful job - however, it only works if you already have a block created. We are in the process of drawing components and making blocks one by one, so it makes sense to add the attributes automatically when the block is created. We currently have over 500 components to create as a block and set the attributes to each one by one.
Also I would like to know, If Fields can be used inside the lisp routine. That way we can always have access to the attributes from outside the block and change values for all the blocks at once.
(defun c:addattribs ( / blk def ) (while (not (or (= "" (setq blk (getstring t "
Name of block to update: "))) (tblsearch "BLOCK" blk) ) ) (princ (strcat "
Block "" blk "" not found.")) ) (if (/= "" blk) (progn (setq def (vla-item (vla-get-blocks (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) blk)) (vla-addattribute def (getvar 'textsize) acattributemodelockposition "New Attribute 1" (vlax-3D-point 0 0) "NEW_TAG1" "New Value 1" ) (vla-addattribute def (getvar 'textsize) acattributemodelockposition "New Attribute 2" (vlax-3D-point 0 (- (* 1.5 (getvar 'textsize)))) "NEW_TAG2" "New Value 2" ) (command "_.attsync" "_N" blk) ) ) (princ))(vl-load-com) (princ)

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Insert Block And Fill In Attributes With Var Values
Nov 4, 2011I am using 2008 and I have a dynamic block with attributes that I want to insert with the below program and have the attritute values filled in automatically. I have done this with other programs in the past and they worked great with literally no problems. They were not dynamic blocks may be the reason this does not work. Why the block will not fill in the attributes like it should. Occasionally in my testing I see a message about "units" when I am inserting the block but I have my insunits set to 0. I have attached one of the blocks I want to use. I am thinking either you cannot do this because it is a dynamic block or there is a new variable that won't let it work.
(setq upisosym "L:/AcadUtilsJack/Programs/InsertIsoSymbols/ELL90BW_Flip_01" isosym "rat")
(setq upod "3" upsch "sched" upmatl "matl" uprat "400")
I found these two new variables and turn them off or 0 thinking they might be the problem???

Jan 31, 2012Running a Query that inserts a block with attributes filled with text derived from a file that has a large set of polylines with object data (text)? Is it easier just to insert this object data as text with a query. Or can I place this object data (text) into a block that inserts?
Example:
- You have land locations defined within the object data assigned to a set of closed polylines. (Large subdivision)
- Field name for object data on each closed polyline is "LAND_LOC"
- Now, I'd like to label these locations with a block that inserts to a central point within the closed polyline.
- Block Attributes with "get" the information from the polyline / object data and place this value in the block attribute.
- I have 1 drawing file that has closed polylines with object data assigned to them.
- What is the best method for this? I'd like a block with attributes to insert and pull the object data / field and place it into the block with a defined attribute, that is central to each of the closed polylines. (LAND_LOC)
AutoCad 2D :: Rotate Block With Attributes - Messed Attributes
Jan 23, 2012From 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.
AutoCAD .NET :: Insert Block From External DWG File / Specify Insert Point By Click Mouse
Apr 2, 2013I write a program, this program needs to insert some standard illustrations. I made these standard illustrations into different blocks. And I store these blocks in a dwg file. Everytime I need to insert some illustrations, I just click the mouse on the current drawing, I want the illustration inserted. These means the following points:
(1) Import the blocks to the current drawing, if the blocks have already been imported, then do nothing.
(2) Specify the insert point by clicking the mouse, and I want the block's insert point to coincide with the mouse clicking point.
AutoCad :: Clicking Block Go To Block Editor And Not Allow To Change Its 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.

AutoCad :: Attributes In Xrefs Don't Update Automatically?
Nov 7, 2012I received a title block update from the architect and it has a block attribute that has the delta revisions of the project. So the new file had a text addition for delta 2. When I replaced the old title block with the new one and then opened one of my sheets, the title block is not showing delta 2, the field is empty.
Do attributes not update automatically? do I need to detach and reattach the title block in all my sheets ?
AutoCAD .NET :: Inserting A Block Defined With Block Attributes
Apr 8, 2013I can insert a block with block attributes using the Inter op very easily:
Dim theBlock AsAcadBlockReference
Dim pickScreenVBA = myDoc.Utility.GetPoint(, "insert the hydrant")
theBlock = myDoc.ModelSpace.InsertBlock(pickScreenVBA, "Hydrant", 1.0#, 1.0#, 1.0#, 0)
Dim varAttributes AsObject
varAttributes = theBlock.GetAttributes
varAttributes(0).TextString ="3 Ports"
varAttributes(1).TextString ="Salt water"
Works great, but when I try using the non-inter op, all the example insert new Attributes and not add block with existing attribute (so I end up with duplicate attributes for each block - i.e "Salt water" attribute is added to the block each time I run the code),
Are they any examples that does the same as above using the non-interop code?
AutoCad :: Add Some Attributes To Existing Block Using Block Editor
Dec 12, 2013I'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?
AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Moving Attributes Automatically
Oct 17, 2012I just have a quick question (hopefully) about an activity I want a Dynamic block to perform.
I have a simple electric switch block (a line with an S over it), that in some cases is enclosed by a simple rectangle. When the switch is enclosed, I'd like the attribute to move further, to keep the spacing the same.
Is there a way to make the attribute move automatically with the display of the rectangle, maybe through some combination of Linear Move parameters, Visibility parameters, and a formula?

AutoCAD .NET :: Getting Block Attributes From Title Block

I have code that adds and deletes the specified pages, now I need to edit the attributes to reflect the correct page and correct total amount of pages. Here is my code, based on my old VBA version.
I know there is a problem with the line:
For Each item In myBTR.ObjectId

AutoCad 2D :: Automatically Updating Defined Width Attributes For MTEXT?
Dec 8, 2011I was curious to see if there's a way to set up Autocad (2010) to recognize when MTEXT objects are edited, and have it adjust their defined width automatically (both single- and multi-line)--versus having to click on the arrow every time to snap the text box "margin" to the actual text. I'd like to do this to keep my background masks the exact width of the text; I just hate it when the mask doesn't cover enough of the text, or when it covers more and the background is unnecessarily obscured. I'm careful about keeping things neat, but my coworkers aren't .

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Insert A Block / Explode And Rename Nested Block With Suffix
Nov 30, 2012I have a block that i want to insert several times and revised each one to be different to do this i would have to insert it and rename the blocks that come in and then reinsert i would like to insert and have a lisp explode the main block and rename the other 2 blocks with a suffix at the end depending on how many times its in the drawing... can this even be done? My original block name that will be first inserted is "BENT PULLEY NOTES" it needs to explode after i drop it in and then there are 2 blocks within that called "Bent Pulley" and "Bent Pulley DYN" that i was hoping to keep the names but add a number at the end depending on how many are in the drawing already...
here is a lisp that i have found... it would work if i didn't have nested blocks and only wanted the one block to be insert and not explode...
