Placing blocks without filling attributes

[MarcoW]

I have a few (100) blocks, or symbols if you like, wich I use very often. All working great but I would like to change one thing.

 

Most symbols are placed with a command starting with:

*C^C where the * means somthing like "repeat when done".

This gives me the advantage of selecting the symbol in a menu, then clicking the insertionpoint (left mouse) and "done" (right mouse).

So whenever I need the symbol 10 times in a row I click left, right, left right... and so on. When finished I press escape.

 

However: some of the symbols require to be filled out when inserted. So I allwas heve to do some "in between actions" like clickin the cancel button in the shown dialog box.

 

THere might be a systemvariable that should be set to 0 in order to disable the dialogboxes. DOn't know wich it is but I'd like to know what went wrong when I created the symbols.

 

Why are some symbols placed without prompting the attributevalues while others must be filled out at once?

 

Tnx for all help.

Attreq = 0

Why are some symbols placed without prompting the attributevalues while others must be filled out at once?

Lee has given the answer on how to suppress the prompt in all cases (I prefer it like that) but the only reason for a variation is that some of your blocks don't have any attributes to be filled in.

Or that the attributes flag could be preset or constant. -David

forgot about those - thanks

Dave,

 

I get nailed on constant attributes a lot. And I'm the one that makes them and still forget about them -David

I use this in the startup lsp file:

 

(defun c:startup ()

(setvar "attreq" 0)

)

 

Startup is now to be chosen in my main menu.

 

Did not know the command attreq, tnx for the tip.
