Adding Attributes to Dynamic Blocks and getting them to display

[james.126519]

I have a drawing with about 100 instances of a dynamic block inserted, each having its own individual settings where it is used. i went in and added attributes in the block editor..and all of the blocks in the drawing wont show the attributes. if i insert another block, the attributes are there. any ideas?

It looks like its on the wish list, but the lisp in this thread (http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=33816) may be of use to you.

have you tried using ATTSYNC or using the BATTMAN dialog to 'sync' the DB's? it's a common occurance that you're experiencing and is 99% successful in updating attributes using this method on already placed blocks....the man knows his stuff. Battman & Attsync Boy will definitely help this issue out.

Then again, the only way may be a delete and purge ..... but try the battman & attsync first ....

If all else fails try inserting the db (if the DB is its own drawing)into the drawing. And let it update all of the existing references. That sometimes works. Also I am only stating this from experience, but is it a posibility that you may have forgtten to add the attribute to a vis state, or some action which suppresses any visualization of the attribute?

is it set to be visible in that vis state if you have multiple vis states? that'll throw a lot of ppl off if they forget that it's only visible in the state it was created in if other states had been previously defined.
