Hello AutoCAD Geniuses.
I've been using AutoCAD a long time... a long time. From time to time I've seen this issue, but finally have had enough and want some advice.
I have a block (actually a family of blocks), see the video, 4 bubbles, each containing an attribute called TAG. I have 4 of them because they CAN have unique values. Doesn't matter anyway, I've seen this problem even if the attribute tags are unique. I have this block in a drawing from which I populate my tool palettes, but it also resides as a wblock in a shared location. In this palette drawing, if I edit an instance of the block, all of the 4 tags work just fine. If I place an instance of it directly from the file location, all 4 tags work. If I pull THE SAME BLOCK (already defined in the drawing), from the palette, one of the 4 tags jumps to hide underneath one of the others. Always the same one.
In the video, the first two blocks you see were copied and pasted (after a Purge) from the palette repository drawing. You can see they edit just fine. I add a third one from the palette (SAME BLOCK), and you can see the tag moves. If I explode, it returns to base. If I Burst, it stays under the top tag. Is this really weird, or do I just need another cup of coffee....
