Inserting a Block with defined Attribute Text from a Tool Palette
Hey Everyone, we have been creating equipment tags to easily identify equipment on the floor plan for a store. These tags have the equipment's unique identifier as well as information such as manufacturer and model number stored as Attributes of the tag block. If we want to store these tags on a tool palette, when we insert them from the palette, all of the stored attribute data is lost. Is there a way to get these tag blocks on and off the tool palette while also retaining the attribute text?

You could make a nested Block:
New File with one Insert on 0,0,0 rotate0 Skale 1,1,1 with defined Attribut-Value
Add this file into the Palette, change explode propertie to YES
not exactly, but
For one block, and every inserts of the block the same data?
Than redefine the blocks and use constant attdefs or set the value by default.
For one Block, and different data of insert attributes, you can insert by a macro-tool (possible in toolpalettes too)
Example, Block with two non-constant Attributes
^C^C_INSERT;MYBLOCK;\1;1;0;Attval1;Attval2

HI @Anonymous,
Did @cadffm's suggestion answer your question?
It sounds as if each block has fixed data attached to it so I suggest marking the attributes as constant in their properties.

Constant would remove the attribute on insertion. I prefer to use Preset and fill in the values that i'd like to see on insertion in the default value box.
