clarkritenow Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 When creating a block with attribute text and different visibility states i find that the text will no go with the visibility state. Is this because of something that i am doing, or will it just not work? ( this is all in 2008 ) Quote
dbroada Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 this has been covered before - I think it is to do with the "lock position" setting. Use the other state and try again. Please report back so we can all learn. ahh, here is the last time I suggested this http://cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=15366 but you can see I have no idea if it helped the poster. Quote
clarkritenow Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 when i went into the properties of the attribute text and locked the position it did not work once the block was in the drawing... the block will show that there are different visibility states in the block editior but in the drawing it will only show one, the others just look the same as the first. there iso type text so its at the 30 degree mark and 0 etc. i cannot upload it to the forum cause its 300 and the max sice is 250... sorry for the long awaited reply was out of town for a couple of days...i live in florida and was at daytona for the budwiser shootout and ARCA race...

dbroada Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 you obviously know that mention of racing cars is the way to get 'round me. We got the shoot-out live yesterday - great last 3 laps! There is another post near here where the same TAG name was used in all visibility states and that was confusing AutoCAD. The final active block had all attributes with Lock Position = yes and all attribute tags were unique. don't forget to ATTSYNC the block after editing Quote
clarkritenow Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 will try it in a few hours have some more improtant work job going out today... thankyou for the help so if you like racing did you see the 24 at all i was at that one also my buddies uncle runs miller industires (the wreckers) and i get tickets to all the daytona events that i want. the 24 was really really cold around 4 am...but we had a fire and some good drinks so we kept somewhatwarm.

dbroada Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 the Daytona 24 hours certainly looked cold! We only get a bit of TV coverage over here and your 4 am is about getting up time here. I have been to Le Mans for their 24 hour race several times and that gets cold just before dawn - but not as cold as that looked. Try this post for european racing.. http://cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14392&highlight=le+mans Quote
Grendel Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Just wanted to confirm this. I was having the same problem. My attributes were not changing properly when I switched visibility states; it would only show the attributes from the first state. Locking the position of the attributes fixed this. Then I just added a move action so that they could be moved, and had no problems. Quote
dbroada Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 locking attributes is important. Once locked AutoCAD can keep track of where they are. Quote
