attribute default value

macdacad — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 01:48:59 GMT

How do I stop the Edit attribute window from opening every time I insert a dynamic block. Attribute contains default value, which I thought prevented Edit window from opening automatically. I only want it to open when I double click on the attribute.

Hi,

I did some google search and found this:

Set ATTREQ=0 and it will work. In this way default value will be accepted without asking.

I hope this is what you want. I tried to insert and it works.

Cheers

I just tried and to change it back to default when on inserts you are asked for values, set ATTREQ=1

Cheers

If you want to disable the attribute window on insertion for a specific block but not all blocks, you can open that block in block editor, select the attributes within that block, go to properties, and change 'preset' to YES. With attreq=1 if a block contains any attributes that are preset=no, the attribute window will pop up on insertion. Only the attributes that are preset=no will show up in the attributes window. If all attributes are preset=yes, the window will not pop up.

Hi @macdacad,

There have been some good solutions mentioned in the thread such as using ATTREQ variable and also using Block Edit to change the Preset value of the attribute to "yes". This can also be done using BATTMAN and editing the attribute properties for Preset Value.
