Elisabeth83 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I have just upgraded to 2012 and I am having a few issues with the title blocks I am creating. For some reason everytime I add attributes to the block they never come out in order. For example I create the title page, add the attributes using ATTDEF (job name etc) then I create the block and check my attributes using BATTORDER, I can arrange them using the up/down buttons which is fine. But as soon as I try to edit the attributes outside the block editor they are all out of order again! I have tried making the attributes in and outside of the block editor with no avail! And to make matters worse I have a jumpy mouse AAhh! Any help please!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Are you using _ATTSYNC after you put them in order? Try using BATTMAN to adjust the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisabeth83 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Thanks, Sorry for the following stupid question - do I need to use _ATTSYNC before creating the block, as I am creating the block or in block editor?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzframpton Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 AttDef's are a thing of the past for Title Blocks IMHO. I need to make a tutorial for how I set up Titleblocks using LT at my old company to share with the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBullseye74 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I do it the same way link dwg number to ctab, also field for drawing scale to vp scale & field for contract number linked to document filename. Works so much better and loads less work to do updating drawings numbers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
