block attributes

[jdsmit]

How do i get the values of the attributes of a named block in vb.net??

I have a block called "version" with attrubutes "versionnr" and "scale"

I need to read them by opening drawing.

I hope that someone can help me.

To access the attributes of a block, use the AttributeCollection property of a BlockReference.  Once you've found your "VERSION" block:

If acBlockRef was the block reference,

For Each acAttribID As ObjectID In acBlockRef.AttributeCollection

   Dim acAttribRef As AttributeReference = acTrans.GetObject(acAttribID, OpenMode.ForRead)

   Select Case acAttribRef.Tag.ToUpper

        Case "VERSIONNR"

             'Do Something

        Case "SCALE"

             'Do Something

Next acAttribID
