Creating Annotative Blocks with Attributes?

AutiCAD 2010

I have been making blocks Annotative by using block Editor. I would open block Editor

and change the block property to annotative. When I do that I notice that the block's

attributes become unreadable. The block's attribute appears to become so squished

up the I can't read it. I have tryed to change the attributes width to make it readable

but that does not work.

Any solutions to this problem?

Thank you,

Are the attributes annotative?

How do I check to see if an block attribute is not annotative?

I don't think the attributes are annotative but I guess I need to

confirm that they are not annotative in a block?

Thank you,

Well, you can "select" the attribute of a block reference by holding down the Ctrl key. Or inside the block definition (BEdit) you can select the AttDef normally. Then in the properties palette (Ctrl+1) should be an "Annotative" property - if it's "Yes" then it's annotative. If you edit the AttDef inside BEdit, remember to BAttMan / AttSync to update the existing insertions.

BTW, the word "squished" in your OP makes me think: are these attributes perhaps set as justified to Fit / Aligned? That might cause hassles with annotative.
