Search for field text in a block attribute

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a block I use for piece marking drawings (thanx to yall here).  I have an attribute that utilizes fields to create the visible mark from a combination of other attributes.

 

My problem is that I can use "find" to search for all the attributes except the one with the fields. Is there a way that I can use find to locate the zzz atribute?

This is the actual piecemark I am using. Attached an older one earlier..... bad housekeeping.

as idea

may be you can switch Invisible to No for all other attributes in block and scale them to very small size (for example scale factor 0.000001)

then you can search values from all attributes

"Find" will already search out the other attributes no problem, it just doesn't "see" the fields in the one attribute.

 

I would like to be able to search for example (C4) 10'-2", which is the visible piece mark. Right now I can find (C4) or 10'-2" but there are other instances of each in the drawing, i.e. (C4) 9'-6" or (DJ) 10'-2".  I need to be able to find (2) attributes at the same time or find the actual piecemark attribute with the fields. Not sure if either is possible as I could not find an answer yet.

 

I can get along with it as is, just trying to make things easier and quicker.

 

Thank you.
