Maintaining the position of an attribute text in a dynamic block after redefining it

[ali_jahed]

Hi All,

I have a Reference drawing(REF.dwg) it has a dynamic block (REF_BLK). Inside REF_BLK there is a nested block (NST_BLK). I have an attribute text (Locke position = Yes) with a move parameter attached to it. Also I have Flip, Rotate and some other point move parameters to move everything for positioning purposes.

In an open drawing I have a (REF_BLK) used, the attribute text moved and other parameters might be used too(like rotate, flip, etc.). I modified the REF_BLK in REF.dwg and want to redefine the (REF_BLK) and it's nested block in it but keep the attribute text in same spot as they are.

The problem I have is when I redefine it through Design Center, it automatically syncs the attributes. As the result the texts move to their default positions.

Is there any way to stop the sync to happen?

@ali_jahed You'll need to share DWG files (Top and Xref) that exhibit the problem for anyone to follow along and provide you with any meaningful guidance.

Based solely on your vague descriptions to date you either have a font substitution taking place or an old definition of that block resides in one of the files not playing well. You're welcome to dissect that all on your own if you wish if unable to share DWG files.
