Find Block by Attribute
I'm new to programming for Autocad, using VB from Visual Studio 2013 Express and Autocad 2012. My question: Is there a way to Find (zoom to) a block according to text value of two of its attributes? For my situation the block is a circle and would like to find by its House Number and Street Name attributes.
Thanks in advance for any help given.

You can get the ObjectIds of the applicable BlockReference Objects, and iterate their Attribute's values to determine which (if any) match the supplied (GetString()?) criteria, and conditionally allow the ability to zoom to based on said BlockReference's InsertionPoint.

While I still consider myself to be very much a student of .NET, I could not have asked for a better response... Thanks for your kind words, Tim.BlackBox,
