Disappearing attributes after using GATTE command

lbellino4 — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 20:44:07 GMT

Hello.

I was wondering if any one has ran into this issue and how to fix. I have been updating the company titleblocks where I work and was able to update one just fine after testing the attributes and using the GATTE command to change select attributes on multiple tabs. So I was updating another titleblock of a different size and did everything the same as the one with no issues and during testing of the GATTE command after changing one of the attributes to read different, the text disappeared as in the attached image shown in yellow. I did check my ATTMODE and ATTDISP and it's set to 1 and Normal, which should be fine. Any other ideas as to why this is happening and how to fix? Note: This is only happening when using the GATTE command. If I click on an attribute and change it individually on each tab/sheet I'm on, the text shows fine.

Hi,

since we don't have the title block for testing... what happened if use ATTSYNC command?

Did the ATTSYNC command just now and it did nothing for the issue I'm having. I've attached the file with the issue for your review. The tabs are what I was doing the testing in to see if I can get the GATTE to work. These will eventually be removed.

Unfortunately, I'm doing the exact steps in your post and my text is invisible. Not sure why it's not showing on my end. After shutting down tonight, I'll check again on Monday to see if a reboot solves the problem. Thanks for the help.

Hi @lbellino4,

Just for confirmation, I did the same steps as Imad and had the same results.

After closing out my computer and ACAD on Friday and starting fresh today on Monday, the GATTE is now working as it should. Not sure why it would not work last Friday. I guess my computer was ready for the weekend a bit early. Thanks for all the help.
