    Default Insert block with attributes from tool palette opens dialog

    When I insert a block containing attributes from the tool palette it always opens the Edit Attributes dialog even though ATTDIA is set to 0. If I insert the same block using the insert command it prompts for attribute values at the command prompt.

    Is there a way to get block tools on the tool palette to prompt for attribute values on the command line?

    Hi Jeff

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD General forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike

    Hi

    Instead of placing ( dragging ) the Block(s) on the Tool Palette, look at placing Custom Insert Command(s) on the Tool Palette.

    Then associate suitable Command Macro(s) or a LISP routine with the Command string.

    Have a good one, Mike
