Trigger Attribute Menu when Copying block within Drawing

BriannaWong98 — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 20:10:16 GMT

Recently created a titleblock template block containing some ATTDEFS. I was wondering, when I copy and paste it within the same drawing, is there any way to get the Attribute Editor to pop up like it does when I insert blocks?

Copy/paste does not trigger anything in LT and can't be added.

No that only works when you insert a drawing, you could double click after you have made the copy which will open the enhanced attribute editor so you can adjust the attributes, or the properties palette is another method.

Would a button macro work for you? Both untested typed from memory.
