Lisp problem inserting Attributes

[Anonymous]

We have a Lisp routine that we are trying to run in AutoCAD2000. The Lisp
routine should bring up the attribiute dialogue box, however the commands
only appear on the command line.
Below is a copy of the Lisp routine we are using.

(defun c:test ()

(command "attdia" "1")

(command "insert" "c:/temp/a1text" "0,0" "1" "1" "0")

)

Any ideas or help please !!

Try inserting the block without specifying the attributes, then call ddatte
with the "last" entity.

(defun c:test ()

(setvar "attreq" 0)

(command "insert" "c:/temp/a1text" "0,0" "1" "1" "0")

(command "ddatte" "l")

(setvar "attreq" 1)

)

You should have an error handeler here to make sure the attreq ssystem
variable is set back to 1.

Hope this helps.
