Topic: Block Attributes - order in property pallet

[DIW_CADtech]

How do you set the order of the attributes in the properties pallet. 

I just created a terminal block with 48 terminals and a ATTDEF for the left color and number description and right color and number, and when i create the block, all the atributes are in the opposite order in the properties pallet.  Any idea how to set the order?

I created the block from the top down,, If I have to start over I may have to shoot myself.

Whatever you do, do not open block in block editor and run BATTORDER command and reorder the attributes how you want them.

How did you select the attributes for the block ??

Did you do a crossing selection
or did you select the Attributes in Order ??

I tried twice with a crossing window.. bottom left to upper right.. and upper right to bottom left.

Ya.. BATTORDER did nothing for the properties dialog box..  uhhhhggg that took forever.

battorder does work you might have to attsync if already inserted.

PHEW.. man thought I wasted that whole time..
I re-inserted the block and all is well...
man hope I never have to do that again.

You may find that selecting the attributes in order will solve the issue.
I usually select attributes first then do a crossing to select the balance of items.

This was 1 of 9 once I had this one created the others took almost no time.

See final block...

FYI this is what the client wanted.... I would never use this block if I could avoid it.

The idea is you drag in the block.. select the one you want then explode and start adding values.

one block.. to rule them all...  LOL
