This code will replace all fields within all text, mtext, and dimensions

 

 

For some reason the fields within text/(old attributes) of a bursted dynamic block will not change for some reason?

 

 

Can anyone figure out why?

[mbrandt5]

Any ideas...

Try R-FIELDS.lsp from: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/convert-field-to-text/m-p/1722025#M217920

That is actually the same code...Though I did notice that there was an update...

 

 

Still doesn't work though...

 

 

Anyone interested in helping it would be greatly appreciated

[mbrandt5]

I've learned the reasoning to why this occurs is because the Mtext is Dynamic in the column property after its bursted...

 

 

So if that can be altered with code I believe that would solve the issue

[mbrandt5]

No Ideas??

Could you possibly attach a sample drawing containing an example of the problematic MText?

 

Instead of using the standard BURST command, have you tried using my Upgraded Burst program or Nested Burst program? (These use very different methods to the standard BURST command).

I tried Iburst, as well as NBurst with no luck unfortunately...attached is the R-Field Lsp/problematic block with the attribute that converts but won't retain the fields last given value at the time of R-Field execution.

 

 

Sorry for such a late response I've had a lot going on
