entmod block location does not move attributes

[Aftertouch]

Hello all,

 

I am using some reactors to manipulate my drawings.

Since i use reactors, i have to use ENTMOD to update drawing entites.

 

Now i want to move a block with attributes.

When i entmod the block, the block moves ass it should, but it leaves its attributes behind...

 

What do i have to do to get the attributes moving aswell?

Have you updated the block after entmod (entupd)? Does "attsync" solve the issue?

or just use vla-move (or even vla-TransformBy ) and make sure you move the (main) block object

 

 
(and 
 (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel))))
 (setq p1 (getpoint "\nBase : "))
 (setq p2 (getpoint p1 "\nTarget : "))
 (vla-move obj (vlax-3d-point p1) (vlax-3d-point p2))
)

Ah, that did the trick... was thinking way to complex. Thanks :-)

When performing the entmod operation, you are only updating the DXF data associated with the INSERT entity, not the ATTRIB entities which follow it. Therefore, if you wish to move an attributed block reference using entmod, you would need to perform the entmod operation on the INSERT and all ATTRIB entities which follow (also accounting for attributes with justification set to something other than Left).

 

Easier to change the InsertionPoint property of the block, or use the ActiveX Move method.
