tive29 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 There are many a block attribute tags using in my company drawings. Need to add additional text to one of the tags but some of these block attribute tags do not have a value so there is nothing for to select that specific tag other then to select any unempty tag to access that block attribute. Can we unhide/reveal block Attribute tags that has no text value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftertouch Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 All attributes are shown when you open a block in the BlockEditor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Have a look at the properties. There should be a list of the attributes ready for editing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tive29 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Left side is how the block attribute looks when one of the tag has value. Right side is when selected with the properties box open as what RobDraw has suggested. As shown, the Tag position in the drawing is not in sequence with the position in the properties. To add text, I need to guess which tag in the properties is the next line in the drawings. So to save some time, is there a way to see visually (temporary) in the drawing to allow me to double click the second line to add the text.

BIGAL Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Only thought was to put something in blank attributes like "." TAG . . Can do all add . in one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Or you can fix the attribute names to be a little bit more descriptive. This method of editing attributes is extremely handy and works with multiple instances of the same block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Robdraw I believe he is after picking the blank spot where the attribute is so it opens that one up for edit rather than all attributes. 4 attributes with blank entries shown as "." TAG1 . . . There is a way like this type B1 B2 B3 etc then pick block, B1 means edit 1st attribute in block need a lisp using "foreach attribute". Need tive29 to accept that method.

tive29 Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 Robdraw I believe he is after picking the blank spot where the attribute is so it opens that one up for edit rather than all attributes. ya, that is what i mean. 4 attributes with blank entries shown as "."TAG1 . . . There is a way like this type B1 B2 B3 etc then pick block, B1 means edit 1st attribute in block need a lisp using "foreach attribute". Need tive29 to accept that method. I only need something to click on abeit temporary only as I cannot have all tags to be "-" as some need to remain blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 and this is what I mean by using more descriptive attribute names. Two clicks and I'm editing any blank attribute within the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
