AutoCAD - Emply attribute prompt while inserting a block

dharunkumar.am — Fri, 18 Nov 2022 09:26:40 GMT

I have created a dynamic block with many visible states and it has attributes in some states . The visible state which I have set as default don't have any attributes . but when I insert the block from other drawing it shows a window with empty attribute prompt . Can anyone answer me why this is happening.

Because

1. Your Block(definition) has non-constant attributdefinition,

that will force to add attributes to your new blockreference

= Dialog open (if attreq+attdia is set to 1)

2. Your dynamic visible parameter setting hide all attributes from the blockreference

= Dialog empty

It is what it is.

Hint: Set up your attribut definitions as PRESET

Thanks for the reply . I set the attribute definitions as PRESET, the prompt screen didn't appears . Now I have a Question. Just for example if I have to add this block to tool palette two times one time with non attribute visible state as default and another one with attribute visible state as default. How to enable att prompt only for the attribute visible state.

I guess you can't !?

I would use a MACRO toolpalette-tool instead of an insertion-toolpalettetool.

1. In the Block, no Present

2. The macro for non-Attributes turning attreq off first, then insert the blockreference and re-set attreq
