Dynamic block with dynamic attributes

[DNK]

How do you lock the attributes?

I'm not sure if he means 'Lock Position', or make them 'Constant'.

Dynamic block with dynamic attributes

When you are in the block editor select the attribute that you want to lock and open the properties dialog box. At the bottom in the misc. area you should see a "Lock position" question. The answer should be YES. That will lock the attribute and retain whatever settings you assign to it, aside from any other attributes.

I hope that answers your question.

Hello,

I have a similar problem whereby I would like to be able to change the default attribute when using a dynamic block. I spent ages on the learning curve trying to get it to work, I created a block that seemed to do everying I wanted and I did a "WB" (writeblock) to a file and inserted the block into a drawing to find the attributes did not change like the original block.

I have set up three different visibility states to hide the attributes and to effectively change the code for each type of block (in this case, light fittings). I know I can do it with text, but I want the flexibility of being able to change descriptors. There may be more than one similar type of fitting for example.

Anyone have any ideas?

Is it just a fundamental lack of understanding on my part?

If I "attsync" the block, the same happens.

Surely this is a pretty common type of use for dynamic blocks and there is a workaround or a fix.

I have licenses for up to 2011, but I like 2008, it does what I want it to do. From reading threads, it does not appear the later versions have addressed the question.

Any help appreciated.

Todd.

One thing you can use is the Attsync command it's a quick command for when updating dynamic blocks it's kinda like a regen for blocks. use it after each change that you do to your block.
