wblock will not update attribute field

[Anonymous]

Hello

Maybe you can help.

I have a drawing border block with an attribute that is set to the field 'create date'.

I would like to change the field to 'date' but when I do this with the 'wblock' command it does not change at all.

Any Ideas out there in the forum???? because it keeps changing the date to todays date and not leaving the date at the date that the file was created which doesn't make sense to me....

thanks in advance......

the file is attached......

Use the _ATTSYNC command once you updated your block, as far as i understand.

The attributes will not synchronise if you don't tell them to do with the button of the same word in that functionality dialog box.

Hi

I tried 'ATTSYNC' and it doesnt work...

Well Wbloc is intended to export blocs as dwg... once modified in the proper dwg, you can Insert them by browsing and update it in the target file... then you would need an ATTSYNC if any attribute.

But I answered stupidely because you told about a Field and not an attribute !

Forget it 😎

You need to set FIELDEVAL to a convenient value ...

I'm leaving the office. A colleague will open your drawing and tell. See you

Instead of using the field category date & time try using the Other category and use the DieselExpression field and enter  $(edtime, $(getvar,tdcreate), DD/MO/YYYY) as the expression.

Hello

ATTSYNC doesn't work, the attribute reverts back to 'create date'.

perhaps I will delete 'create date' and replace it with 'date'.

Thanks for your help.
