grazwelis Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hello, Is it possible insert raster image by attribute value in drawing? For example: my blocks attribute value is sky, then in particular place sky.gif... value is Sun, then i could see image sun.gif how can I possibly do it? Please give me advise....

ReMark Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Why wouldn't you just insert the gif (sky or sun) directly? What is the purpose of inserting a block with an attribute that calls a gif? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanickx Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Why wouldn't you just insert the gif (sky or sun) directly? What is the purpose of inserting a block with an attribute that calls a gif? I think the purpose of doing that is to have several attribute blocks (with the same name) but with different image....for example this attribute block will have some values with sun image & that attribute block will have some value with sky image (but both of it share the same attribute block)...& by that requirement you can't easily insert sky of sky image directly into the attribute block!

ReMark Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I'm having trouble understanding how an attribute, which is a value, could "call" the gif. It's not like it is a macro or a piece of lisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanickx Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Then, I guess we can't used attribute to change the image...it's only applicable for values..right? Is there any other ways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I think a lisp routine would probably be better suited. When does the image have to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanickx Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Say...we have an attribute block that show signage post, with it's name & it's signage layout...by using the same attribute block we need to change it's name & at the same time we want to change it's signage layout image. So by that we will have 2 attribute block (same attribute block name) but shows different description name & layout. For example like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 How about a Dynamic Block with visibility states? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanickx Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I was thinking the same way.....but when we are dealing with hundreds of signages (it's an airport signages actually), then the dynamic block will be quite heavy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
