    Default Fill attributes with drop down box

    Summary: The ability to fill attributes with a drop down list.

    Description: I would like to be able to fill in a block's attributes with drop-down lists similar to VBA's combo box.

    How Used: A very beneficial feature of AutoCAD is the ability to extract attribute values to an Excel file with the EATTEXT function. But if the users misspell or are not consistent in their entry, you loose Excel's ability to search, acurately sort the information or take advantage of lookup tables.

    If the values are populated with drop-down lists like the combo boxes, the block's design would govern the spelling of, and also the available values.

    Feature Affinity: Blocks
