Hi,

 

>> dwg-1 not shown attricute block

I would say there are no block-insertions at the end of the leader lines.

Why do you think that there should exist any block-insertions there?

 

To verify:

  • all layers are on and thawed
  • ANNOALLVISIBLE is set to 1
  • <CTRL><A> to select all does not show any geometry at the end of the leader lines

Hi,

  • You have a block with annotation scale that can be turned off/on . So ( as alfred said ) "Why do you think that there should exist any block-insertions there?" [Click on below image]

  • A block named with an asterisk and a "U" (like *U18) in AutoCAD is known as an Anonymous Blocks. These are blocks without a user-assigned name. They are automatically generated by AutoCAD to support features like dynamic blocks, hatch patterns, tables, or associative dimensions. You normally can't use AutoCAD block editing commands with anonymous blocks.

Examples of anonymous blocks:

  • *U### - general anonymous blocks
  • *E### - anonymous blocks from non-uniformly scaled blocks - when exploded (e.g. solids, regions)
  • *D### - anonymous dimensions (dim blocks)
  • *X### - anonymous hatches (hatch blocks)
  • *A### - anonymous groups, DGN linetype blocks
  • *T### - anonymous blocks in tables
  • *S### - anonymous blocks of 3D views 

My suggestion is to redefine the block you're using correctly. Afterward, you'll find your problem is automatically resolved.

Hi,

after renaming the block,

you should allways use ATTSYNC (outside of the block editor) on the block, after you changed anything inside...if the block contains an attribute. If you don't, changes usually don't apply.
