Attributes with suffix

Anonymous — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 12:52:07 GMT

Does anyone know if I can pre-set suffix ("m²") so as I don't have to manually enter it in each instance of attribute?

You could add it into the default value of the attribute as text after the field.

Thank you, that solves the problem with typing it in in each instance. But since it is in the same space where I have to ADD FIELD, it makes the process slow. I have to pay special attention to not to click on the "m²" when adding the field. I hope Autocad will improve this function in the future!

you can put m2 in the block (this is a trick but it will solve your problem)

i am sending a cad file as a sample (dont forget to set your att. justification to the right)

Good luck

Thank you, this is what we are using at the moment but these get off center with bigger areas and drawing does not look that presentable with some numbers jumping off center.

Here is what your looking for : Suffix attribute with m2

Replace the tag "AREA" in the lisp with your attribute tag.

Please make a screen shot "get off center with bigger areas"

or upload the area with attribute off center in cad file.

good luck
