What do you mean by Attributes fields ? do you mean Tag names ?

 

I can help you with a lisp program but not a batch program on multiple closed drawing .

[suryatry26]

Yep.. Attribute Means Tag Names... Attribute Created By 'ATT' Command.

 

Have Multiple Attribute with the different names in my dwg. I need to change the 'Drawn' Attribute Width factor.

Copy the following codes to a new file in Notepad program then save it with any name you like (example Test.lsp) then open your drawing call the command ap then select the previous created lisp file then back to Autocad and type test to start.

 

(defun c:Test (/ ss sc i sn e)
 ;; Tharwat 20.08.2015	;;
 (princ "\nSelect Attributed Blocks :")
 (if (and (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "INSERT") (66 . 1))))
          (setq sc
                 (getdist
                   "\nSpecify New Width Factor for Attributes between [0.5 - 2.0] :"
                   )
                )
          (< 0.49 sc 2.1)
          )
   (repeat (setq i (sslength ss))
     (setq sn (ssname ss (setq i (1- i))))
     (while (/= (cdr (assoc 0 (entget (setq sn (entnext sn)))))
                "SEQEND"
                )
       (if (eq (cdr (assoc 2 (setq e (entget sn)))) "Drawn")
         (entmod (subst (cons 41 sc) (assoc 41 e) e))
         )
       )
     )
   )

Come on man , it is very simple .

 

Upload a sample drawing that contains the target attributed block.

[suryatry26]

Yep Tharwat I tried to upload my reference *.dwg (37KB only)file using the Go Advanced Option.

After Picking the Add File Option its continuouslyprocessing & finally it won’t get add.

Can you give any other idea Please? for uploading the file.

[Tharwat]

You may a big drawing , so use the command wblock in AutoCAD and select only the block and try again.

[Lee Mac]

Try this program: Dynamic Attribute Width

[suryatry26]

My dwg file size is 24KB only..

Whatever earlier (From History) I loaded I can possible toattach using insert option. But newly adding the files is the problem. It wontget add.

After adding only they are given the option for track.

Hi lee Its looks good..

But my file getting hang. Bcoz so many attributes in my file.So dynamic means getting hang for each moment.

I need simply whatever attribute text I am touching meanssimply its need to change as 0.8 width factor that’s it.
