I have a titleblock that has several attributes (drawn by, dates, etc...)
Can I change the order of those attributes as they prompt me for input?

I get the 3rd date request before the first two...
Thanks!

Sorry, I'm using LT2006

EXPRESS TOOLS: BATTMAN (Block Attribute Manager)
should work just fine.

When you are making the block you must select the attributes 1 by 1 in the order you want AutoCAD to prompt you for them. In other words, run "wblock" select all lines, arcs, etc. that are in the block then one at a time, in the correct order, select the attributes. Finish by selecting your base point, block name, etc. and voila!

Please note I have moved this thread from the Software forum to the AutoCAD LT General Forum as I believe it is better served here.

As Ty said below, you have to pick them in the correct order. I think the only way to fix that in LT is to explode and recreate the block.
