thegodplato Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I am adding info onto a building layout. The file that has been sent to me is one drawing ( rather than sep Xrefs ) and so I had to add my element onto the drawing via the Block Editor bit to get to the ceiling grid and light fittings. If I didn't do this ( on the proper drawing ) the whole drawing would be highlighted when you moved the mouse onto a line ( if thats clear? ). Anyway, I've added it all, saved the ammended file when closing the block editor and noticed that some info isn't showing in the `proper` drawing even though its on the same layer as other info that is showing. If I open the Block Editor it is still there. I can't upload it as the file is too big. Hope someone can help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Is the text that is not showing up an attribute? Are there any layers that are turned off or frozen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegodplato Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yes, the text is an attribute and its on the same layer as other information ( a symbol we use containing text and a small circle ) that shows up. No, we don't have any layers off or frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Maybe the attribute was set to be Invisible. You could try using ATTDISP. This command turns on or off the visibility of all the attribute tags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegodplato Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thanks, just tried that but it doesn't make a difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Can you post the troublesome text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugshot Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 . . . maybe synchronize the block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I find myself wondering if you shouldn't have EXPLODED the original block, instead of editing it in the block editor? Shooting from the hip here, might it be annotative? Consider this..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 This sounds like a case for ATTSYNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
