Problem with 3D-rotated Attribut

j.palmeL29YX — Thu, 27 Aug 2020 14:18:49 GMT

In >>another thread<< I found a block (here again attached, block "b") which includes an attribut defined as parallel to the XZ-plane.

In AutoCAD 2020 it works well (image 2000.png), in AutoCAD 2021 the attribut appears parallel to the XY-plane (image 2021.png).

I built another similar completely new block (without the block in block construct) - unfortunately the same behavior.

Is this caused by a systemvariable (I have not found any) or a bug in AutoCAD 2021 or I'm doing something wrong?

Hi @j.palmeL29YX

I tried to open the drawing in AutoCAD 2018 (I don't have AutoCAD 2021)and it looked fine with no problem as you see it in AutoCAD 2020, but when I tried to insert the new block the attribute became parallel to the XY axis.

I assume this is caused by the system variable "ATTREQ". Try setting system variable "ATTREQ" to "1" and then "ATTSYNC" the block. With ATTREQ set to "0" the attribute does not respect the UCS when the block is inserted and will be parallel to XY axis.

After inserting the block attributes were parallel to XY axis and setting the system variable ATTREQ to "1" and then ATTSYNC the block the attribute corrected its position to XZ axis. After setting the ATTREQ to "1" when I tried to insert the block the attribute was perfectly set in XZ axis🙂

Good to know, I was not aware ot that.

This solves the problem.

Thank you
