WD_TB Issues for Beginner

I'm setting up blocks and templates, mostly with success.  My WD_TB blocks are visible, and appear on printed sheets.  I can manually "hide" them, but that does not seem to be the correct solution.  It appears that zI have made an error setting up the WD_TB, but I'm clueless.

 

Advice?

Check ATTMODE and make sure it is set to 1.

Post a copy of one of your templates so that we can take a look at it. It may have to be someone else after this. I am about to lose my only copy of ACE (contractor be let go today...)

Move the WD_TB attribute into the block labeled "Title Block"' and then ti should work. It has to be part of that block.

Sounds great, but same result.  WD_TB still appears, but within the Title Block.

One thing I forgot to ask but did you set the WD_TB attribute setting to "Invisible=Yes"?

I am as far as I can go until I get access to another copy of ACE. Maybe one of the others can continue from here.

I ran into this problem before during the development of our title blocks.  From the drawing that you supplied it looks like the WD_TB was inserted seperatly from the title block.  The solution that we came up with was to insert it in the base title block, then insert the title block.  The WD_TB should be invisible after that.  The WD_TB should also be an attribute in the title block, not a block. Attached is a sample from our title block here.
