Inserting a Block that has Attributes in AutoCAD 2016

Hi All,

I've begun helping my company in the process of upgrading to AutoCAD 2016, and in testing one of the program I am having an issue that I never encountered before in AutoCAD 2013, which I'm assuming is some change that happened after 2013. I'm getting the attached screenshot when I try to insert a block, here is the code that I'm using, which is the code I've always used for inserting a block.

 

(command "insert" "SINGLEPINRIGHTMULTIPLESNGLAMV.dwg" "0,0" "1" "1" "0" AMVTHK AMVHEIGHT HOLEDIA AMVRAD)

So my question is, did they change how the insert command works? If so, how would I go about doing the insert in 2016?

(setvar "ATTDIA" 0) Controls whether the INSERT command uses a dialog box for attribute value entry
0 = no
1 = yes

Thank you very much. I guess either in 2013 we had the ATTDIA variable set to 0 by default, or the variable was added after 2013.
