Topic: Rotating Blocks leaving attributes

[hyposmurf]

Was hoping for the user to individually select the attributes as they will be different types of attributes attached to different blocks.

Here's your selection method:

Code: [Select]

(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "INSERT") (66 . 1))))
That will only allow you to select blocks with attributes. If you type all it will select all blocks with attributes and nothing more or less. Use ssname and entget to get into the dxf listing.

HS, is this something you're trying to do or just want done?

Well, I have a proggie that allows the user to change a heap of things with attributes...it is too big to post as code, so I will post the VLX in the lilly pond and let you know when you can get it...

Thanks Keith appreciate it,I'll now have to figure how to use VLX,before you post it.

vlx is the same as a lisp, but you don't see the source code. You load it and type the command name. Keith'll have to tell you the command name.

Ok it took me forever and a day, but here it is...

The command is MODATT

Nice,works like a treat Keith :dood:.Kind of what the global attribute editor shouldve been.

thanks... when I get some more time, I am considering adding a few more options to manipulate attributes, including adding and removing attributes to/from selected blocks

Used the modatt vlx application you created today,changed attributes all changed to 0 deg rotation.Have now noticed that the attrubtes have shifted place,but block remains in original place.Cannot use modify in place xref/block, object is not in working set,even though im selecting the correct block/attribute.If i do blockreplace command,it'll replace the block at the original insert scale,but the attribute will be to big.So i thought id use modatt to change the height of all the attibutes in my drawing.This changed the scale but the attributses are not in the correct place.i understand this is a free peice of software you developed and am really greatfull,but if you could determine whats going on keith itd be cool.
