delete all of the ATTDEFs that are blank and left over on paperspace, but not visible

No, the file was exploded when I got it. I am familiar with burst, however I like to keep blocks together to retain functionality. There was no unmolested version. I cleaned up all 20~ish tabs manually.

 

I'm going to try and enlighten the other user involved....

Now, I'm confused. I'm away from AutoCAD until tomorrow. I will try to get my head around it in the morning.

 

In the mean time, I haven't run it, so can you explain what the LISP routine that you posted actually does? I'm thinking that will clear things up.

The ones that are appearing out of nowhere are coming from the first tab. I think this is a procedural thing that is causing a bug in the LISP. It is designed to change unassociated attributes to text. It does just that. When you use "ALL" for a selection, it grabs the attributes from the other tab, converts them, and copies them to the current one. (I don't know why.) When other selection methods are applied, it does nothing on the second tab because there aren't any unassociated attributes to convert.

 

Solution: Do not use the "ALL" selection method.

Thanks for examining it.
