Flummoxed - attribute not displayed in Layout

I can't view an attribute once its in the Layout view can you help.

I am aware of the attdisp command which is set to 'normal'. (I've tried 'On')

is it on a frozen or turned off layer?

Is the ATTMODE the same as the ATTDISP? Two names doing the same thing

Hi,

Thanks for the quick replies

Ive tried ATTMODE to no avail.

Layers are on including the Layout on/off freeze options.

Now what??!!

why don't you post the block and we can check it out

wild guess here but try ATTSYC

If that doesn't work then i'm clueless w/out lookin at the block myself

Hi

I tried to upload the attribute after making it into a block but it came to 512kb. ??

(I had created the text using ddattdef and then copy and pasted it.)

You've probably already tried it, but, is your Att text on the annotation style? If so, ensure that your annotation scale is set correctly in the bottom right of your screen. Set it to the same scale as your viewport.

I created the attribute using ddattdef and then copied it from the original. It seems to have a size of 512kb when I make a block from it.

Doesn't that seem large? (Upload limit 250kb)

try doin a quick purge on it see if it's brought any "unused" items with it
