AJSmith Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 i have bounced this one around the office and had not real answer so its your turn i have attached a copy of the dynamic cut line block we are using so the question: when using the block you have a letter at each end so have 2 attributes saying the same is there anyway for setting it up so that you only enter the cut line suffix once and it appear at both ends ??? i did find that i could enter a field in Mtext to read the value of the attribute but this only set the field to the default setting and didnt change if the value did many thanks Adam CAD-BLK-01 Cut Line.dwg Quote
chelsea1307 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 after you changed the value did you regen or do a qsave or a fieldupdate the fields dont automatically update with the change but these above will cause them to update Quote
AJSmith Posted September 24, 2009 Author Posted September 24, 2009 think i did but will have another go to be sure Quote
fuccaro Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 How about putting letters from A to say H and add visibility states to the dynamic block? When using, you type nothing -choose the desired letter from the drop-down list. Quote
AJSmith Posted October 5, 2009 Author Posted October 5, 2009 after you changed the value did you regen or do a qsave or a fieldupdate the fields dont automatically update with the change but these above will cause them to update tryed all the above and the field just shows the default vaule of the attribue any one else got any ideas ¿ CAD-BLK-01 Cut Line.dwg Quote
chelsea1307 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 how did you go about creating the block with a field? Quote
AJSmith Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 how did you go about creating the block with a field? i created Mtext and inserted a Field (Ctrl+f) Quote
chelsea1307 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 Is this just text or is it a block attribute? Quote
AJSmith Posted October 7, 2009 Author Posted October 7, 2009 well i is just a text field so is set by the drawing not manualy like a attribute if that makes sence Quote
chelsea1307 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 So the text is not part of a block then? Quote
chelsea1307 Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 I attached something similar to what you attached with working fields, is this what you are after? Drawing1.dwg Quote
AJSmith Posted October 16, 2009 Author Posted October 16, 2009 spot on thats exactly what i want but i cant get it to work inside a block with an attribute any ideas Quote
