[Matersammichman]

I have a field inside an attribute.
Anyone have VBA code to auto-update it after editing without my having to constantly type in regen?

You mean something like ThisDrawing.RegenAll ??!?

[Matersammichman]

Yes, but what Event do I use to get it to auto-run after editing the attribute/field?

[Keith™]

it can be done with an object reactor to send Object.Update to the blockreference and/or attribute and/or field

[Matersammichman]

Uhhh...say again Houston?

[deegeecees]

Its a start...

Code: [Select]

Private Sub AcadDocument_EndCommand(ByVal CommandName As String)
 If CommandName = "EATTEDIT"
   ThisDrawing.RegenAll
 End If
End Sub

[Keith™]

you could try this:

Code: [Select]

Private Sub AcadDocument_ObjectModified(ByVal acadObject As Object)
    acadObject.UpDate
End Sub

I've tried numerous modifications.
None work without getting caught in an endless loop.

Can you post what you've got so far?

[Matersammichman]

Unfortunately, no.
When it doesn't work, I blow it away.
Suffice it to say they were the originals offered above, and derivations thereof.

Keep in mind that you cannot modify an object inside of the ObjectModified event, to do so would cause an infinite loop
