Bursting attributes but keep block sympols

[Anonymous]

Hi , guys

I need a little help , which is I am using below lisp file to burst block with attributes  to convert all attributes to normal text .

but I need one thing is when converting attributes to normal text I want to keep the block symbols as it is not exploded

and choosing the blocks by selection set inside window ( -42.5700,-30.7700  /  804.4300,654.2300 ) not selecting by manual on screen + overkill command

OK Guys, I found this lisp which is doing for me what I want of keeping the symbols as it is after bursting , so the only thing I need now is selection set by  ( window as mentioned above ) ,

Hello

I like the Burst2 routine from Lee-Mac !

But the routine ignore invisible attribute !

Is it possible to get a version which runs on visible AND invisible attributes !?

Thanks in advance, Regards, Patrice

No , it's exploding the blocks symbol and not keeping them as a symbol after bursting, and also selecting manually and I want it to be by window selection set,

The best lisp to use is the second one which I attached burst.lsp it's keeping symbols so all what I need is the selection will be by window

It's selecting by window great but I don't know why the blocks getting exploded not as a symbol

1. Why are you bursting blocks.

2. To do what you ask would mean either changing the block definition, defining a new block from the non attribute entities or grouping the non attribute entities

The second lisp which I attached burst.lsp was working fine with me burst all blocks ( converting visible attributes to text  and ignoring all invisible attributes - and keeping block symbols as they are ) yesterday on different cad version 2018 . today I tried it on cad 2017 in my office but it's not doing the same , it's converting attributes to text  but exploding the block symbols .

I need this because this is our client standard when converting them to microstation drawing

Here is attachment drawing before and after bursting ( that I want )

Will there be a problem with altering the block definitions to remove the attributes as far as your office is concerned?

To answer the question why, it may be because in some blocks the non attributes are actually a nested block.

So what is the solution

[dlanorh]

 The only solution I have to hand bursts the block deleting invisible attributes and turns the non-attribute entities into a group. I don't know if groups are acceptable?

If it's going to give same result like the example which I attached ( after bursting ) you can check it

then that's ok

Then try the attached. Load and type bb2g
