when you select them look at properties - does it say it is an attribute? could it be a block or an xref?

when you say it doesn't explode or burst, what happens? do you get an error message?

 

maybe post a part of the file if you can. this would help.

In Block Editor - Properties - Block section - Allow Exploding = Yes or No?

[mateen]

that's not a block and not a x-ref its a attribute i have checked very well

and sorry to say i can't publish that one drawing because its an official drawing and my office don't allow to publish drawing thatwhy

but i m pitty much sure its attributes

qball...................

its not a block...........

How is an attribute not part of a block? Isn't that the only purpose of Attributes? Otherwise it's just text.

[designerstuart]

so when you say it won't explode, what happens? is it just an attribute with no block attached? if so, what will be the benefit of exploding it?

[tzframpton]

If it's just an attribute that's not associated in a block, then it's simply a floating attribute definition that SHOULD be housed in a block but isn't. So, the "text" is basically useless.

ok next day i will try to publish that attributes drawing?

[tzframpton]

An attribute not used in a block will not plot.

If that is the case, you either have to recreate all the attributes as text. Or convert them all to a Block, then Burst.

Interesting. I did not know that.

Why do you need to explode or burst? Just right-click and select properties, at the top of the Properties Box it will show what type of object is selected.

 

If it is text, use text explode from Express Tools _TXTEXP on the command line.
