Block Name in a field

[cadtag]

that's sorta my point -- since that's what the OP is asking for.

So, unless someone demonstrates a way, I'll stick with my original answer.

Following your latter comments, I merely commented on the nature of Fields, how Object-specific references work, and not commenting on how they could be used to accomplish the OP's request.

Does this get anywhere close ?

[cadtag]

I believe that's exactly what the OP is after. Sweet

Well done, steven-g - NamedObject was the key.

I am wanting to edit the block using refedit not bedit - that's why no attributes.

You can use refedit with attributes .

Thanks for all the input everyone. Steven-g is very close. I would really like to be able to then edit the geometry of the block using refedit. When I try to edit your block I get:

Errors found in references to other objects:
** Object reference missing: AcDbField, to AcDbBlockTableRecord.
*Cancel*

Can I ask how you did get it this far?

And what about this one ?

clement.ribot - how can you refedit and edit geometry when the block has an attribute? Please tell!

[ASM78]

close too. I still, on tying to edit the block get the attribute editor opening not the block geometry in a refedit command.
