Changing text height in dynamic block that is not an attribute - repost

[mpa-la]

Please note that I'm reposting this here as there is very little action over in the dynamic blocks forum, and I think this is a more general question.

Please no workaround answers, I can handle that, I want to know how to handle this properly as a dynamic block.

I have a drawing from a consultant with a dynamic block that's just got a circle and text in it. The block is annotative, the text style is not, and the height of the style is 0. The text is too small, so I want to increase it in all the blocks. If I bedit the block, only the circle is visible in the block editor, not the text, so I can't change it there. If I open block attribute manager, this block isn't listed, so I can't edit it there, but when I edit the text in a block individually, it opens it in enhanced attribute editor?? I can edit the text and change the size in there, but if I try to use attribute sync to the one I changed, it says the selected block has no attributes!! So annoying...

I'm attaching a few of said blocks here to see if someone can either explain to me how this works, or tell me if this is a poorly created block and I just need to stop trying to understand it. Thanks!!

Hi @mpa-la   I don't think that block is dynamic.  It is just has errors and is corrupt.  If you use command OBJECTSCALE and select it to add or delete annotative scales you get an error message. If you use the INSERT command and insert another one of the blocks there is not text or attributes. 

It would be best to create a new block with a new name with the text height you want and then use the BLOCKREPLACE command to replace all of the corrupt ones.

Your "text" are attributes, the Enhanced Block Editor will edit them.

I agree with the other review, you were given garbage for annotative blocks, take the time and make new ones. And don't repeat the amateur mistake from the other user and assign "standard" for your text style in your new blocks.

Good luck.

Thank you both, I thought that may be the case, but I am not familiar with the ins and outs of dynamic blocks, so I wasn't sure.  I will do as pendean suggested and replace the blocks with functioning ones (with their own non-standard text style)
