Resetting Attributes while copying from one file to other

hi,

I am new to this forum and pretty excited about the kind of knowledge sharing you guys are doing.

I need a solution/suggestion in the below case...

I have a block with all attributes in a drg. i want to copy the same block into another but while doing so , all the attributes will remain same.. is there any way to reset the attributes once i copy it to another drg..

kindly advice

thanks

If you WBLOCK the block out to a "symbols" folder and put that folder in your search path you can just INSERT the block and a new instance will be added ready to input your new attributes. I think you can use Design Centre or a palette too.

Hi thanks for your response,

i just tried what you have mentioned, first i exploded the existing block and then made a wblock of the same. now when i brouse the wblock and insert in a file. i am able to edit the attributes but i am not getting that Enhanced attribute editor which i used to get previously.

you don't need to explode a block to wblock it, just select BLOCK in the dialogue box. I don't know why you are getting a different attribute editor though.
