Edit MTEXT attribute value using lisp issue

[adsylva]

I'm having issues with updating an MTEXT attributes value using lisp.

If I insert my block (this is a titleblock) and run my lisp routine the MTEXT attribute updates fine.  Once I edit the MTEXT attribute with the MTEXT editor, and then run my lisp routine again, the MTEXT attribute will not update anymore.  All the single line (DTEXT) attributes update fine.  The lisp routine I created has worked for years...this is the first time I've tried it with an MTEXT attribute.

Has anyone run into this?

What method are you using to edit the attribute value in AutoLISP?

Simply modifying the ActiveX textstring property for the Attribute Reference should work with both single-line & multiline attributes.

Here is a bit of the code I use

(setq e (subst (cons 1 val) (assoc 1 e) e))
(entmod e)
(entupd blk)


Thanks,

As a quick fix, try:

(entmod (subst (cons 1 val) (assoc 1 (reverse e)) e))

That worked.

Thanks very much!
