Attribute Blocks and Lisps

Just a heads up. i was writing a LISP to make a leader and then insert a block with attribute that would be filled out automatically.

It worked on my computer but not on others. The problem that I did not forsee were 2 system variables

ATTDIA = 1, instead of prompts you get a dialog box = dead lisp

ATTREQ = 0, Set to zero and you never get prompted by attributes = dead lisp

i banged my head a bit untill i figured out the simple solution.

if you using lisps to insert blocks with attributes take these 2 variables into consideration.

Or use entmake/vla-insertblock and be worry free

one up'ing me eh?

i will look into that vla-insert block

Couldn't resist, sorry

I just have a thing against all command calls where there is an alternative
