Having problems with FULLFILENAME not showing on attributes within a Title Block
Having problems with FULLFILENAME not showing on attributes within a Title Block
Hi,
I'm currently trying to use AutoCAD Electrical to set up a mostly automatically updating title block for my company. I am using the <Project> .WDT File method for this block. I have about 23 attributes inserted and linked, and they're working fine, but the 24th is giving me issues. I have an attribute with a tag named FILE and I'm trying to link it to FULLFILENAME, but no matter what I do, after I update the title block in a drawing the attribute remains blank. Plotting the file doesn't do anything either. Is this something to do with the attribute name, or is it the drawing value that isn't working right? Thanks in advance,
Those images doesn't really help much in trying to figure this one out. We'll just be guessing. Any chance you can share the DWG (and/or wdt) ?

Here are the block .dwg and the test file I've been using, and the template. Unfortunately I can't upload the .wdt file, i'll try to post it as plain text.
The problem is that you've added the FILNAME attribute to the block later on. So.. it exists in the block DEFINITION, but not in the inserted block REFERENCE.
You can see this by double-clicking the title block, that the FILNAME attribute is missing.
Run the ATTSYNC command on the title block, and the attribute(s) should appear in the inserted block reference as well.

ATTSYNC seems to have done it! Thank you. When I added that (and other) attributes in, I kept re-inserting the block to update the block definition, but I guess that went wrong at some point. Thanks again!
Looking at your files I suspect your drawing database is corrupted some how. The fix is to open a new file from a clean template like acad.wdt then copy and paste in your drawing geometry and text. IMO you should purge all unnecessary blocks first.
