Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a dynamic block that uses a parameter and an attribute definition to determine the diameter of a circle in that block. I plan to export GIS points with diameter in the attribute table into a CAD file with the block definition. I'm having trouble figuring out how to set up the parameters to read to attribute definition and adjust the circle diameter. Thanks in advance for you help! Using AutoCAD 2013

Sorry --not going to happen that way. Driving dynamic block parameters from attributes has been a requested item that has not materialized.
If you have Map3d or Civil3D, you could approach the problem from that direction, but AFAIK from Vanilla no joy. It would be up to the GIS package to make those changes in the circle properties as it creates the export.

....Can a AutoLISP command be written to read an attribute in a block and draw a circle with the attribute as the diameter using variables?
Yes. You might want to continue this over in one of the customization groups.
