Selecting attribute by tag?

Anyone know a easy way to selecting attribute by it's tag?

As for now I have this code for picking the attribute:

(setq attr(nentsel "\nSelect Attribute> "))

...but I want to get the attribute containing a specific tag instead.:wink:

Easy? Yes. Use the Find command. You can search by Blocks and specify Block attribute values.

I'm guessing you'll want it programmatically.

But how would the code determine which block? What do you propose for this?

But it's just an attribute, not inserted to a block (yet). So I don't have a block name. Is it still possible?

As ReMark said, FIND.

You mean its an ATTDEF?

ya, it's an attdef

The block-making comes after the attribute issue. First I want to assign attributes to the geometry and then make the block. Maby not possible?

Is this in relation to your other thread regarding the fields?

I assume you are creating the ATTDEF everytime you select an object? If you create it using entmake(x) or vla-AddAttribute you can bound the attdef entity/object to a variable for use in other parts of the code.
