The block at 0,0 remains visible while a "duplicate" block is dragged. Is there a way to hide the original?
Insert block then calling the drag jig..

When I create a block reference the attribute collection count is zero. Is there something I need to do with the block definition to enable the attributes.
I am using AutoCAD 2010 64 bit. (I did think I had this working on my 32 bit computer but will check tomorrow). Running the AutoCAD function Battman - sync fixes the issue.
I would like to solve a drawing insertion when I set the scale as 1 but when I insert the dwg, it looks smaller and the PROPERTIES box tells me that the dwg is .0364 in size.

I’m now encountered into two problems with this regard:
Why sometimes we get the number sign “####”?How can the field automatically be updated in case a “stretch” is made without the need to go and click “update fields”?How to make the “precision” of the field value (which represent the length) to be 5 such that the 2568 will appear as 2570 and the 2563 will appear as 2565

I inserted a block into a very busy drawing. I can't find it now. Is there a way to locate it? I want to delete and insert a newer version, but I can't until I delete this one.

When I insert "IFC" block, I would like todays date to be inserted automatically. I guess I am asking if you can make smart blocks in autocad 2009? Let me know if I'm not asking this question correctly.

I wanted to update the title block (inserted as Xref) as some changes occur in the original dwg but sounds not to work.
How the Xref is updated so that all changes in its original source can be reflected automatically?

I've written a method that creates a block definition and inserts one instance the newly created block definition. The block is comprised exclusively of lines and text entities. When the method is completed, all entities appear correctly on my machine.
However, when other users try to run the routine on their machines, the lines appear correctly but the text entities all appear positioned at the block insertion's origen. And the other users must manually regen the drawing after the command is run to trigger the text entities to move (or appear to move) into their proper location.
Though it wasn't necessary on my machine, I tried adding the following line as the last instruction in my command-method:
_drawing.Editor.Regen();
But even that last line's programmatically-triggered regen didn't solve the text location issue for my users. They still have to manually regen.
I also ensured that all (or most) of a test user's system variables were set to the same values that I use (via Express Tools export & import). But that didn't work either.
I have a library of blocks that I built for our company to use. We recently upgraded from 2013 to 2014 and boy did it throw our library for a loop!
There is a check box (reflectivity) that leaves the materials black when the drawing shade mode is changed to Realistic (unless you go in and uncheck the reflectivity box) and while I have figured out how to alleviate that issue (by unchecking it on our tempate and saving it) I am still having a materials issue with our blocks.
I can open the block (and turn on Realistic mode) and all the pieces have their materials like they should. I then open a new drawing and insert the same block into the drawing .. one piece is sans material.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why it's there on one drawing but it gone when inserted. The new drawing has been purged and doens't contain anything it shouldn't.

Is it possible to have a dynamic block with text which, when inserted into a drawing, will show the text orientation matched to the layout? I have a non-dynamic block which is simply a donut and a piece of text. When I insert it into a drawing, the text orientation will change to suit the orientation of the layout. I created another block with the same entities but I also added a couple of lines extending out from the center of the donut. I added stretch and rotation actions in order to rotate and stretch the lines. I also gave the block visibility states so that either one or two lines would appear (the block is a utility pole,by the way, with the lines representing guy wires). When I insert the dynamic block into a drawing, I cannot get the text to match the orientation of the viewport. I've tried changing different combinations of settings but the text won't appear horizontal.
The two blocks I mentioned above are inserted into one file with a number of other blocks. When I check the properties of the non-dynamic block, the "match orientation" is set to YES. I cannot, however, change the "match to orientation" setting to YES on the dynamic block. Is this simply because it is a dynamic block or am I missing something? I don't create a lot of dynamic blocks and therefore I am not a wizard at it so I am assuming I am doing something wrong.

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to remove blocks from a drawing without having to explode or burst? I'm trying to clean up backgrounds for a hospital and every drawing is driving me mad! After I explode them, all kinds of new entities appear making the problem worse. There has to be a better way. I've tried bursting, but - same effect. On another note, my office is trying to move us to Revit, which appears to have a ridiculously steep learning curve.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a several drawings from an outside source. There are blocks in the drawing which I can not remove the attributes. I have tried exploding, erasing, and redefining block. This doesn't seem to remove all the attributes. That is I erase all the attritube that I can see while editing in place. When I save new defintion I have it replace existing block.One attribute remains.
I have tried to use Battman and resync. It allows me to remove all the attributes except one.Point is, I would like to keep the current blocks cleaned up in the drawing without having to go to each and put a new block and remove the old. Not sure of the origin of these blocks.I believe they came from an AutoDesk AEC source and may have been XREF into drawing.
i have a dwg file, it has so many x-refs. And x-refs has so many dynamic blocks. As you know there is a frame around the dynamic block objets. But i have many many rectangles-frames that i want to remove..
I thought that if i set it's colour to black, i could ged rid off to see this ridiculously big frames. But i couldn't.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need a lisp sub-function that can empty all attributes of a specified dynamic block. The idea being that the specified block contains data that changes often and in order to repopulate the block's attributes with new data to replace the old I wish to just blank out the old data first, because it's possible that the new data may not utilize as many attributes and all of the old data must be removed.
The thing is the block I'm after is on several layouts, CTABs and they all need to be wiped clean.
Is it possible to keep a modeless dialog box permanently open (aside) just like a properties or tool pallete dialog box?If Yes, by keeping permanently, can I work in autocad environment normally as usual, like save, edit, close and open other drawings?
Note: Just assume that I am making a calculator-like dialog box. I would like to keep it open till the autocad application closes? (even in zero document mode.)
I use the publish dialog box to print "dwg to pdf" for larg print jobs. I would like to set TEXTQLTY to 100. why does Autodesk make this NOT Possible with out opening each sheet one at a time. this should be a global setting.

How can I turn off the NAVCUBE and NAVBAR features permanently? If I set either NAVCUBEDISPLAY or NAVBARDISPLAY to 0 (zero) in a session, both items (annoyingly) reappear the next time I launch AutoCAD.Per another post on the AutoCAD 2012 forum, I've tried setting these variables in the registry here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAutodeskAutoCADR19.0ACAD-B005:409 Profiles<<VANILLA>>Variables. URL....
instructs the reader to use a string value (REG_SZ) and set the value to "O" (presumably for "Off"; but that would conflict with "On"). I tried it with both "O" and "OFF".
So I've tried that approach; but it's not working: these UI-cluttering features (that I don't want to see) reappear upon launch. I've also tried setting these as 32-bit and 64-bit values (to zero). But that hasn't worked either.
So we just upgraded from 2007 (it's a long and unrelated story why it's taken us so long to upgrade). The other thing I've noticed is that when I drag the command-line box and dock it at the bottom (I want it permanently docked at the bottom), upon the next launch of AutoCAD, it appears again in the hovering undocked position. It's very annoying that AutoCAD doesn't automatically remember and respect the user's preferences. And since I'm ranting, my other impression with AutoCAD 2013 is just how incredibly slow it is. I've got respectable hardware (5.9 Windows experience index), yet AutoCAD 2013 launches like a dog.
I have recently been upgraded to AutoCAD 2011 and have noticed that the Navv Cube is on. I have found by typing in the command NAVVDUBEDISPLY and selecting 0 that this turns it off however it seems to be set to turn back on every existing drawing unless it has been switched off in that drawing and then saved. I didn't use AutoCAD 2010 but have been told that the Navv Cube was turned off unless you selected it to be on. Is there anyway to have toe 2010 option or is this another feature of AutoCAD that they don't want to have changed

I draw a line then use divide command to put some points with equal distance in this line. some points will then are created on this line but when i move the line, the points do not move. I am wondering if these points can permanently stick to the line so that if i change the position of the line, the position of the points will also change.
