Do you mean the attribute values of an attribute block within an XRef in the drawing?

Do you mean the attribute values of an attribute block within an XRef in the drawing?

 

Remember the XrefResetLayer you posted before? I was about to "remodel" that code to work for such a task mentioned by the OP, but i think its your prerogative to do so Lee but then again, you probably have an entirely different approach altogether?

I remember that code

 

I would be inclined to retrieve the XRef Block from the Block Collection, iterate through the objects contained therein and extract the Attribute values from the Attributed Block Reference inside the XRef.

 

Untested, but since an XRef is just a special block, it should hopefully work.
