    Default Dynamic block with attributes

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    My drawing has a block named "Revision" which is a dynamic block with 9 visibility states. Other than the 'No Revision Display' state, all other visibility states have one text line (a simple mtext) and more than one attributes.

    The mtext and each attribute is set to:
    Annotation: yes
    Annotation scale: 1:1000 & 1:1_1

    I have no problem with the mtext but the attributes did't show up when I used the above setting. When I changed to no annotation, the attributes showed up. Why is that?

    Note: the block is inserted as part of the title block in Layout which is has 1:1_1 annotation scale.

    Thanks.

    How do I post my block here? I've never done it before.

    That's the ticket. Your block seems to operate as described on my machine. I have three tips for you to try when dealing with attributes and the block editor.

    1. Use the 'BATTMAN' Command to sync your attributes.
    2. If your block is dynamic, right click on it and choose 'Reset Block'
    3. Re-Insert the block.

    One of these options should help your new attribute definitions show up...
