    Default Multiple Attributes to a Single-Line Text

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi all, just wondering if it is possible to assign multiple attributes to a single line text within a block, and be prompted for them upon insertion.

    Cheers in advance,

    James

    Do you want one attribute which is all others combined but have the others invisible ? Maybe try fields. Else a lisp will do easy.

    It may be useful to post a sketch of what you were looking for.

    It really doesn't matter what you assign attributes to...line...text, they are part of the wblock. When you create an attribute definition (I've always made the promt the same as tag), you can make invisible,or backwards,or locked in position, and a few other things. And yes, you are prompted for a value even if invisible.

    When you insert the block, you will be asked for the values of each tag, and the single line of text will be your visible value, and the other tags will be invisible values. The invisible values can be included and visible in your table when you create the table.
