eelywig Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I'm using 2007 LT. I Would like to exlode a block with the attribute text remaining as text. Quote
Ryder76 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 'BURST' will explode a block with attributes to dtext. Quote
designerstuart Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 does coammand BURST do the trick? EDIT: you beat me! Quote
Glen1980 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Sorry guys, no burst command in LT. eelywig how many blocks do you need bursting? Quote
Ryder76 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I was wondering about that - I've never use LT - don't think I want to after all these years. It would probably frustrate me right to an early grave! Quote
Glen1980 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 It frustrates us too, given it is about a third of the price of full AutoCAD by now it should be Full AutoCAD minus the 3d stuff. Or they could at least give us LISP. Quote
eelywig Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Glen 1980- The amount varies. Right now it is about 60 in this drawing. A while back when I was working with R10 & R14 there was a lisp program that did it but it don't I have it anymore and it probobly wouldnt work with 2008 LT if I did. Quote
eelywig Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks to all for the replies. I'm finished for today but will be back in the morning. Quote
designerstuart Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Sorry guys, no burst command in LTdammit! beaten and wrong! i'm logging out! Quote
Glen1980 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I was just going to offer to burst the attributes for you!!! Upload a dwg with just the blocks and I'll do it in the morning. Quote
Glen1980 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Never mind Stuart, it may help someonelse who views the thread. Obviously if they skip Ryders comment and go to yours Quote
bass_mark00 Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 For what purpose do you need to explode the block? The answer to that may tease out the solution. Quote
dbroada Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 there are many reasons to explode a block although none come readilly to mind. The problem here is that the best solution (burst) is not available to the op. The problem when a block is exploded is that the attributes now show as the ATTDEF and people leave these in the drawing as text. At least this poster is trying to leave them as text. Quote

Yes I agree. 2007 LT had the block editor so I'm assuming this problem relates to something other than updating the graphic. Quote
dbroada Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 the block editor won't allow you to see what the text assigned to an attribute is though. If you have 20 blocks all with different locations as attributes that you now want as text, the block editor won't help you. Quote
Glen1980 Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Bass_Mark your signature just brought a smile to my face when I realized my socks are actually very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, dark blue! Quote
