I need a little help with attributes. I can't get this to stop for input at the "insert"..needs user to enter a response to 3 attributes...but it just breezes by!
Code: [Select]
(defun add ()
  (setq grp (ssadd (entlast) grp))
  )

(defun vav_label (/ pt1 pt2 grp)
  (init)
  (setq pt1 (getpoint "\nPick a point ON the VAV..")
pt2 (getpoint "\nSelect a location for the text:" pt1)
)

  (command "layer" "m"     "SM-Equipment Details"
  "c" "1"     ""  "lw"
  ".35" ""     ""
  )
  (command ".pline" pt1 "w" 0 10 pt2 "")
  (setq grp (ssget "L"))
  (command ".circle" pt2 22)
  (add)
  (command "layer" "m" "SM-Equipment" "c" "1" "" "lw" ".80" "" "")
  (command "circle" pt2 25)
  (add)
  (setvar "osmode" 1)
  (command "trim" "L" "" pt2 "")
  (command "layer"    "m" "SM-Equipment Text"   "c"
  "1"      "" "lw"    ".35"      ""
  ""
  )
  (command "insert" "VAV TAG" pt2 "1" "1" "0")<===has 3 atributes which need input
  (command pause pause pause)
  (add)
  (command "-group" "c" "*" "" grp "")
  (reset)
  (princ)
  )
:roll:
I know that the cause is the command with the pauses..but if I remove that line, I get an error because the next line is trying to add it to a group BEFORE the promts are answered! :shock: :yikes:

This may also work:

Code: [Select]
(command "insert" "VAV TAG" pt2 "1" "1" "0")
(while (> (getvar "CMDACTIVE") 0)  (command pause))


or this

Code: [Select]
(command "insert" "VAV TAG" pt2 "1" "1" "0")
(while (= (logand (getvar "CMDACTIVE") 8) 1) (command pause) )

do the attributes have the "preset" tag marked?

@CAB  That last one works..it allows me to respond to the promts via PDB, but if I do anything after that (pan,zoom etc) it generates an error and undoes all (as req'd by error trap). Perhaps it's something in the way I'm "grouping" the items?

Try it without the pause. I think that is where the problem is.

Code: [Select]
  (setvar "attdia" 1)
  (setvar "attreq" 1)
  (initdia)
  (command "-insert" "My Block" pt2 "1" "1" "0" )
