Prevent Edit Attribute popup?

[autodrguy]

How do I prevent "Edit Attribute" pop up prompt for entering text for an attribute in a block?

I just want the same attribute text each time I insert the block, I don't want the "Edit Attribute" popup window to re-enter the same text every single time.

 

I do want the attribute text so mirror won't reverse it (I just want permanent attribute text).

 

This is how I do it (correct me where I'm wrong):

First I delete the old regular text.

Second I give the block an Attribute Definition Tag and enter the text I want in the Tag blank.

Third I center where I want the text.

Forth I save the block.

 

When I finally insert the block I get the "Edit Attribute" pop up to renter what I want it to say. Like I said earlier, I don't want this pop up, I just want to enter the text once and that's it. Also if I enter nothing in the "Edit Attribute" pop up, then no text will show on the block.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Please look for atributte's modes Preset or Constant. Both will load the default value without prompt; the difference is that Preset will allow you to adjust it later.

 

For the mirror issue, please set the MIRRTEXT system variable to 0.

If you want to accept all the block defaults on insertion but still want the ability to change the attributes later set ATTREQ=0.

If the text is going to be the same for every instance of the block, might I suggest not using an attribute? What if you need to change that value? If it were text, you would only have to do it once.
