https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/vba-forum/attributes-changing-layer/m-p/1679709#M33482 Greetings folks...I have thousands of valve blocks with attributes in a drawing (AutoCAD 2007). I need to change the layer of the attribute text without affecting the layer of the symbol geometry; they were both defined on layer 0. To complicate things, the attribute text has been previously moved and sometimes rotated (manually). When I use BATTMAN to change the attribute layer I lose the manually edited attribute text locations, the attribute text defaults back to beside the valve symbol.<BR /> <BR /> Any ideas how I could change the layer of the attribute text without changing the text location or rotation?<BR /> <BR /> Bernie Corbett<BR /> Sr. Engineering Info Tech<BR /> Halifax Regional Water Commission Mon, 19 Jun 2006 16:31:00 GMT Anonymous 2006-06-19T16:31:00Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/vba-forum/attributes-changing-layer/m-p/1679709#M33482 Greetings folks...I have thousands of valve blocks with attributes in a drawing (AutoCAD 2007).
