Attributes dialog box auto open.

Is it possible to have the Titleblock Attributes dialog box to automatically open on document creation, or on save.

this will work if you go into the CUI, and on the save button you add

;ddatte; (then coordinates for the selection point of the block you want the attribute box to open)

I have tried what you suggested, and it isn't pulling up the Attributes dialog box. The point of insertion of our titleblock is 0,0,0.

After doing this, when I click save all it does is save.

I put it with this button, it worked for me, I did notice a space between the original "save" and the part I typed in, not sure if this effects it or if you included a space also.

Hi @gconley

I would suggest using the custom properties field in attribute and fill them using DWGPROPS. You can create an acad.lsp file in a trusted location and with code:

(princ "\n Enter the Title block Details")

(command "DWGPROPS")

This would open the DWGPROPS when each drawing is opened and the user can enter all the details and then start the project 🙂
