BlockReference attributes

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a blockreference in a dwg that is a like a form, for example:

Written By: Diogo
Author: Diogo

Date: 13-07-2012
State: Check-in

In autocad this is a block, and on the attributes of the blockreference I only can edit State and Author, and i would like to get all values. Because i want to fill those values of Written By, Author, Date and State by code. I can reach the attribute collection of the block but i only can see the State and Author.

Can you please help me?

Thanks and kind regards,

Diogo

Hi,

>> [...] but i only can see the State and Author.

Is it possible, that the other attributes are constant? Upload a drawing with a sample-block ... that makes guessing faster 😉

Hello,

No this are not constant attributes because when I do something like this

BlockReference br = (BlockReference)btr.GetBlockReferenceIds(false, false)[0].GetObject(OpenMode.ForWrite);

AcadBlockReference abr = (AcadBlockReference) br.AcadObject;

Object[] objs = abr.GetConstantAttributes();

The objs has a length of 0.

And when I double click on the blockreference in the autocad I can only edit is State and Author.

Thanks and kind regards,

Diogo

And one more thing, if I go to menu Insert -> AutoCAD attributes and click on hide all attributes the values of state and author disappear but Written By and Date still continue with its values

Hi,

can you upload a drawing having one or two of these BlockReferences inserted?

Try run BATMAN command from the command line

and check / edit attribute properties before

Hello,

I'm sorry but I cannot upload any of these drawings by restricted reasons 😞

Some more new information:

I've converted the block to a xml file and those values on the block that I cannot modify they don't appear in the parameterdefinition in the xml file, but they appear as all other attributes in the tag text, and the attributes that I can modify as something like this %STATE%, and the other I get "Written By:", "Diogo", "Date:", "13-07-2012". Is it possible that they explode the block edit the text values and then join all together? I'm guessing don't know if it is possible

Thanks and kind regards,

Diogo

Then take two of these BlockReferences, copy&paste them into a new drawing plus modify the attributes-content. Look if the problem you have with your code also occurs now and then send the new drawing (as imho now there are not any more restrictive data in it).
