Edit attribute order in block-dwg

[Tiger]

Hi guys,

 

I know I have done this before but I can't for the life of me remember how - and I keep ending up at BATTMAN when I search.. and if Battman is the answer, I will kick myself!

 

Anywho, the issue:

 

I am updating a block with attributes, adding some new, removing some old and moving the rest around.

As can be expected, when I am done and save the block and insert it the order of the attributes are all messed up.

 

Now, as far as I can understand, BATTMAN changes the order of the attributes all right - but only in that drawing where the block is inserterd in. I want to change the order permanently. This block is to be used on pretty much all of our projects, I can't have to run Battman all the time!

 

Like I said, I know I have done this, and I fully expect a D'oh-moment soon.

 

Thanks all!

You may re-write the block to disk (WBLOCK) after applying the BATTMAN command - this way will update his source, too.

But then I have to explode the block and the wblock it back... does the battman-reorder survive an Explode?

 

Shouldn't there be a "correct" way? (And I know I am being grumpy...)

[MSasu]

You don't need to explode the block and re-define it into WBLOCK's command dialog; since the block already exists in current drawing just select its name and the path to be saved to and press the OK button.

Sorry for being grumpy Msasu - WBlock was smart enough to no nest my block, which I just assumed would happen.

 

Thanks

 

*kicking myself as we speak*

Really, no need to excuse; I haven’t read your answers like that.

Sound that your issue is now solved. Glad I could be of help!
