block attributes

[ATANCAD]

Hi All,

Is there a way to create an attribute or MTEXT in a block where part of it is User defined and the other part is constant?

e.g.

"AUTOCAD = 12345 LAYERS"

Where "AUTOCAD =" and "LAYERS" are constant

and

"12345" is the user defined part.

The reason why I would like this is because i want to be able to Middle Centre Justify the text and if i were to create 3 separate texts then it wouldnt be good (2 texts and 1 attdef)

as shown in the attached photo the value "5" from the attdef should come into the other ATTDEF

where "t =" and "s" come in by default. but the way i had to do it was create a field in the value of the attribute which is rubbish coz then a user might not know how to use it and then edit it manually destroying the "intelligence"

You can input all attribute values first and add Prefix and Suffix afterwards.

so how would i add a suffix or prefix?

There are a lot of routines can do the job.

You can try attached ALTEXT.vlx to add Prefix / Surfix to block attributes as well,

3wood,

I don't really want to bother running a routine for this. We don't really use AutoCAD much anymore and using the field in the attribute then REA it seems to work well enough.

Thanks for the input
