stopandgo Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi, I am having trouble with a particular block, which is defined by a single polyline and 3 attributes. When I select the block, I would like to see the 3 associated attributes show up in the "Properties" window; however for some reason they do not. I am using ACAD2007 and I have a large widescreen monitor and have expanded the Properties window, so I know that I'm not just overlooking it. The window lists "General," "3D Visualization," "Geometry," and "Misc" categories for this block reference. Can somebody help me figure out why the Properties dialog box isn't listing the block's associated attributes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvpas Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hi, Your attribute has constant mode. It means, you cannot modify his value. If you want to change that, You have to edit your block and open properties palette of this attribute in block editor and to modify in Misc section constant : NO see image below Bye Pascal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stopandgo Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 YES. Once again I was stumped by the right-under-your-nose solution. I exploded the block, switched off constant mode for each attribute, re-blocked the whole thing, and voila the block properties window shows the editable attribute tags I needed. Originally, I had made the attribute tags dynamic so that AutoCAD wouldn't prompt you for the values each time you inserted the block. But what I didn't realize is that by putting it on "constant mode," you're disabling the option to change the tags AT ALL, including on the Properties Window. Thank you, rvpas.
