Autocad 2016 Block has no editable attributes after copying

Autocad 2016 Block has no editable attributes after copying

Anonymous
No aplicable

Hi All, 

 

I use Autocad for Network documentation and I am making a new block for a new Cisco switch we are using. 

 

When I take a copy of an existing block,explode it,  modify it by removing a few switchports and changing the model name, create a new block, and then "-WBLOCK" it... I get a new block but none of the editable attributes remain. 

 

If I do this on Autocad 2015, works fine, but 2016 gives me this issue, can anyone help?

Post a sample of your block BEFORE to edited it and a copy of the edit afterwards, let's see for ourselves what may have been missed.

Hi,

 

>> When I take a copy of an existing block,explode it

Why exploding anything, why not editing the block in the block-editor? Then you have all attributes as in the original blockdefintion.

 

>> create a new block

Are the attributes valid after creating the block (before using _WBLOCK?)

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

 

Before you wblock your new block definition out of your drawing, does the block you just created have attributes that can be edited?  I would like to see your drawing with the old and new blocks in it so I can help you to figure out what is not working properly.
