    Default Edit Multiple Attribute Text Size (Not Global)

    Is there a way to change multiple (not global) attribute text sizes at once?

    Basically I have a grid line symbol (circle with attribute at center) and need to change several text sizes due to too many characters to fit inside of circle.

    If it is a lisp, something like select the blocks and type text size.

    Assuming you don't want to use the Annotative feature in your block definition, or add a Dynamic scale to the attibute (both methods work with minimal effort); The text input of commands are:-

    -attedit Y ; ; ; (then a pause while you select the ones you want) h 1.5(for example) n (then some kind of loop until you run out of selected attributes; Maybe a sub routine of the overall Lisp)

    Is this the solution you seek?

    Yeah I was thinking dynamic block route, but was hoping there was another way with -attedit or something. I am in the beginning stages of learning LISP, so I just stuck to the dynamic route.

    Thanks.

    Your welcome!
    Can you post your Dynamic block after editing, so other forum members can see what you did to achieve your solution please?

    You can do this through the Properties Palette. Without any commands, hold down Ctrl, select each attribute in turn. Open the PP & change the settings as per your requirements.

    I found your solution very useful and it worked in AutoCAD 2009 but I can't get it to word in 2010. Any ideas?

    Sorry, not using 2010 yet ... and the way the economy looks, I never will. Maybe someone else knows. Oh BTW, do you mean the Properties Palette or the ATTEDIT command?

    I hope it's simply a setting and not another update which breaks something which worked seamlessly before.
