M_Simons Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I am trying to add the ASSYCODE attribute to the automatically generated reports. I am doing this via adding the attribute to the "user defined attribute list" option. When you add the attribute it asks you to save the .wda file. I do this, but when I open the user defined attribute list again it is blank. I try to open the .wda file I made earlier, then save the drawing but it still goes away the moment I close the window. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Simons Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Ok, I figured it out. For some reason AutoCAD won't allow you to use the ASSYCODE attribute (or probably any of the catalog data attribs) in the "user defined attribute list". I switched to an attribute I made up and it worked great. I ended up using the DESC3 attribute, which also worked fine. I needed to use an attribute that all of AutoCAD's "smart" blocks had. Just FYI for anyone else who has this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
