AttributeReference Justification Issue - 2nd try

[artem.voskanian]

When I'm appending AttributeReference to a newly added BlockReference, attributes seems to be ignoring their justification as defined in AttributeDefinition. They all come in with the default lower left side justification. However, if I edit this inserted block in AutoCad, Attributes jump to their defined justification.

I do use SetAttributeFromBlock method, as well as trying to setting the WorkingDatabase to the AttributeReference's, but that didn't seem to resolve the issue.

Is the Database that contains the objects the
current database (e.g., the WorkingDatabase
property of the HostApplicationServices class) ?

Thanks Tony!

I was setting the WorkingDatabase to my attref's database (following your answer to a similar posting), but you just mentioned the key word "current". Suddenly it clicked for me. I'm actually creating a new drawing by starting a new database, so all I had to do was to set the working database to my new database, do the attribute thing and set it back.

Many thanks!
