Topic: Need help about increase attribute number in the block!

[Sieu khung khiep]

Hello, I am reading from this post: https://www.keanw.com/2008/05/an-automatic-nu.html ,and
currently I don't know the purpose of this piece of code now(it is at the bottom of the post): I understand that it will handle the constant properties but it seems that after removing this code the project still works,here is code:

Code - C#: [Select]

1. [code] foreach (AttributeDefinition ad2 in other){
2.         AttributeReference ar2 =new AttributeReference();
3.         ar2.SetAttributeFromBlock(ad2, br.BlockTransform);
4.         ar2.Position =ad2.Position.TransformBy(br.BlockTransform);
5.         ar2.Tag = ad2.Tag;
6.         ar2.TextString = ad2.TextString;
7.         ar2.AdjustAlignment(db);
8.         br.AttributeCollection.AppendAttribute(ar2);
9.         tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(ar2, true);
10.       }

[/code]
I think it was solved by the above command:

Code - C#: [Select]

1. [code]ar.SetAttributeFromBlock (ad, br.BlockTransform);

[/code]
Not sure, could someone explain help me?
Thanks very much.

It looks like that part was creating attribute references for "other" attributes if the block contained any other attributes besides the "NUMBER" attribute.

I have not tested but you should see a difference by testing with drawing attached since I added two attributes("OTHER" & "OTHER2") to bubble block definition.
You should see two extra attributes using snippet below, but after removing snippet below it should just add the number attribute.

Hi Jeff H
Thanks for the reply. I have reviewed the code carefully, and from your comments I have figured out how it works. It also helps me answer a question I'm preparing to post;) Great!
Have a nice weekend!
