AutoCAD 2010/2011/2012 DWG Format

[#1]

When inserting a block with attributes, if, in the insert dialogue box the Specify On-Screen box is checked under insertion point, the values for the attributes are entered on the command line. If the Specify On-Screen box is not checked, the attribute values are entered in the Edit Attribute dialogue box.

Is it a bug or one of those obscure settings?

[#2]

The ATTREQ variable controls whether the values get filled in on the command line or the dialog box.

0 > dialog box
1 > command line

This variable controls whether or not the values for the attributes are entered at insert time, not how they are entered at inset time. Edited by: DavidJFuller on May 13, 2010 10:17 PM

I see what you're saying...I get the same behavior here. It happens in 2010 as well.
