redefining blocks

[rwbaker]

I have several blocks that i have created with custom attributes

I have been asked to modify several of these blocks and i seem to be having a problem
when i try to resave them

when i orginaly saved the blocks i selected each attribute in the order that i wanted them to be in

now if i try to modify them in anyway the attributes are getting mixed up....

how can i make modificatins to the blocks and not mess up the attributes ?????

Have a look at this thread, and following any links within.

thanks for the help

Do you know of any other way to work with the attributes in a block other than the order in which they are saved...maybe by the tag

I am not sure if this is possible but thought i would ask...

here is what i am currently doing....

ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.InsertBlock(vMaxCoord, _
"c:\weldedfilterflange\" + filterdrawing, vScale, vScale, vScale, 0)
If filterdrawing = "spclrectfilterflg.dwg" Then
varAttributes = BlockRefObject.GetAttributes
varAttributes(0).TextString = OutsideWidthtxt + """"
varAttributes(1).TextString = "(" + txtSpacing3 + ") " + "SPCS " + "@ " + txtSpacing4 + "=" + txtSpacing5
varAttributes(2).TextString = InsideWtxt + """"
varAttributes(3).TextString = Spacing1txt + """"
varAttributes(4).TextString = Spacing2txt + """"

You may want to ask this in the VBA forum. You will probably get more help there with this type of question.
