Dynamic block with dynamic attributes

[Helenka]

I have dynamic block with visibility states and Lookups. I tried to add attribute (field with block reference property) wich suppose to be updated according to Lookup. But it didn't happen Attribute still the same as first lookup props, but if I insert the block(pic1) and select another properties from the list (pic2-3), when open and close the block editor(4) - everything is ok.
Is it possible to solve this problem?

Did you try on more computers? Can you post the drawing?
Maybe a REGEN could fix the problem -without testing it is hard to say.

Stupid girl
I ignored REGEN command before this moment.
Fuccaro, Thank you.

Have you used BATTMAN command?

BATTMAN command updates all attributes inside specified block.

In that case I jast needs to regenerate the drawing. BATTMAN command edits attribute properties, not updates them.

On big drawings it could be time consuming to regen everithing. Maybe it is possible to regen just the block. I don't have AutoCAD right here but you may try to insert the dynamic block and change its visibility state. If it doesn't change the image on the screen enter in the command line:
(redraw (ssname (ssget "p") 0) 1)
press enter and see if it does the job. If it works you may create a button with this macro.

Have you used FIELDEVAL system variable?
Change to 31
its control the automatically update fields

Tools Menu > Options > User Preferences TAB > Fields

You should try to go back to your original dynamic block and look at each attribute and make sure that they are locked. If the attributes are not locked go ahead and lock them. Once you have done that re-save the block and test it. That worked for me.

How do you lock the attributes?
