weird symbol showing in attribute value

gcsjlewis — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 19:17:05 GMT

Recently i started having a couple of issues with my panel blocks. I noticed it when certain blocks were not showing up in my bom. While investigating i noticed a handful of attributes showing a value as such

MFG \w0.7000;AB

CAT \w0.7000;1769-OW8

ETC.

I noticed that the "\w0.7000" is the width factor. For some reason i cannot figure out how to fix my block. Other than creating a new one.

If i try to modify it through the quick properties or regular properties tab i can not click on it to edit.

Any ideas??

Seems like your attributes are set to be multi line.

Try to set this to No:

It is not allowing me to change it. I can't click on it or anything. I can click on the other misc. items like invisible, backward etc.. But not multiple lines.

I guess you'll have to edit the symbols with the symbol builder, and then run the block update function for you blocks.
