I have found the Attribute Helper from Brian Ekins very helpuf and it has in fact became a must for the work I am doing preparing automated 2D drawings for my company. I have come to a small issue I would like to point out to take into consideration in later versions.
When working in 2D drawings I use attributes to identify some elements in the drawings, mainly DrawingDimensions.
If you assign to an element an AttributeSet, but you delete that element later, the set of attributes remains appearing as linked to an element called "Nothing". When you are working in a drawing for quite a long time you can get quite a lot of those "Nothing".
I can delete the attribute set on this entity and the entity "Nothing" will dissapear, but when I press OK to close the AttributeHelper, I get the following message:
"Unexpected failure while updating the attribute information."
After that error the entity keeps on appearing on the list, so the "Nothing"'s keep on accumulating.
I attach some screen shots in attached PDF file.
I am very happy with the tool, and really grateful for it being shared. I just want to help to improve it!
(If you also find the Attribute Helper a must, you can support the following idea in IdeaStation: integration-of-attribute-helper)
I am working with:
