rod_smithsr Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Is there a way to have an attribute dialog box appear when inserting blocks from the tool palette? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Don't know about block insertion from palette, but for regular insertion the display of dialog for attributes is controled by ATTDIA system variable - it should be set to 1.

rod_smithsr Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thx msasu, I appreciate the help, however I already adjusted the system variable to 1. Just need it work when dragging and dropping from the tool palette... sigh... *rod screams* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 try setting ATTREQ to 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod_smithsr Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 The ATTREQ was already set to 1 as well.. Thx dlbroada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 must be a change between 2011 & 2012 then as it works here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaneClare Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 *lol* I'm sorry to laugh, but I'm having the opposite problem with 2011. I have the stupid prompt box, and I don't want it. ATTDIA is set to 0, ATTREQ is set to 1, inserting directly gets no prompt box (preferred), and from the toolbar, I have the prompt box, every time.

dbroada Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 ATTREQ (should) controls whether you get prompts or not, ATTDIA controls whether you get a dialogue box or if you use the command line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaneClare Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Yeah, I know; those have been the first two points of all answers regarding the issue. But, in my case, I was directed to a lisp program that fixed the problem for me.

LaneClare Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 ahub: Are you inserting from tool palette or directly from the insert command? My problem was only with the tool palette, and it was fixed with the lisp program for which I provided the link. All you have to do is to download the lisp routine, then on the ribbon, load application. Choose the lisp program and select load. It should work after that. Once you've confirmed that it works, you may want to add it to your startup routine; there's a button on the load program prompt box to do so.

LaneClare Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 OK; I'm not completely understand your problem, these are the things that I *think* you may be asking: 1) Your blocks work fine in Cad2012, but when using Cad2007, the dialogue box pops up instead of the straightforward prompts in the command line. 2) Your block isn't showing the correct information in 2012, but it is in 2007, or vice versa, or neither version is working the way that you want it to. Possible answers to these issues: 1) You have the dialogue box in 2007, but not in 2012. Do you want the dialogue box, or not? Are you inserting from a toolbar or are you inserting from the command line or the insert button? These things affect how you go about fixing the issue. 2) What information should your block be showing? If it isn't showing what you want it to show, first check the individual attribute settings (in block editor, from the properties menu; select the attribute, and the attribute properties should show. Make sure that the invisible box isn't checked). outside of that, I have no real experience there, and only use 2011, so I don't know about the mixing of the versions. HTH. You should probably start a new thread to ask, since this one isn't getting much traffic, and I'm not really able to help you. Good Luck!
