Question about eattedit command

Anonymous — Fri, 12 May 2017 07:05:22 GMT

Hey there,

I hope some one can help me with the eattedit command. I'm trying to edit a enhanced attribute editor.

I'm calling this block with the eattedit command, but the enhanced attribute editor has a popup screen. And i cannot figure out how i can change the value's these items with commands.

I work with C# and using the Autocad API.

example:

cadApp.ActiveDocument.SendCommand("eattedit\n-122,26,0\nvalue1\n");

This will send the eattedit command directly to the running autocad instance. And the next image will show after the command.

My problem is that i want to edit the value's with my external program. I cannot edit this with command's because this issn't the commandline.

Does anyone have an idea how i can do this?

Thanks,

Matthijs

There are direct API methods for approaching block attributes - SendCommand is only a last-resort method. If you need to use interactive commands for some reason, you can use the command-line version of the attribute editor: -ATTEDIT
