    I had a attribute lisp program and some how lost it. Does
    anyone have one, or maybe the code for collection and editing
    of an attribute that they can post here?

    Thanks

  2. What do you want it to do?

    I just need the code for collecting information from a title blocks
    attributes and storing that info for insertion into another blocks
    attributes.

    Say I'm replacing the title block. I need to capture the old title block
    info
    for inserting into the new one.

    If I can just get the code for just one attribute (say "TITLE") then I would
    be
    able to take it from there but it would also be nice to have the code for
    updating
    an existing attribute.

    Thanks

  4. On the first part, I have a routine to do this. As long as the tag names are
    the same it'll migrate the values from one block to another, no matter what
    the blocks are named. It's on my site and called ATTCOPY.
    On the second part, I don't follow you.

    Would the Burst command work for you?

    Burst replaces the attribute with normal text, Not sure if your trying
    to retain your attributes or not but that's what I use whenever I get
    attribute laden title blocks or drawings with attribute room names
    (that are a pain for us to mess with).

    Burst can be found in the bonus lisp commands.

    sure what do you have to do to the atts
    change values or format the text?
    lemme know what you need to do
    and what version of autocad you have



    BOO to you Learn to use your tools
    or train your people

    when someone like you screws up a drawing I created by removing the
    atts or other useful data, exploding all the blocks, and hatches. I
    REFUSE to work in that project any longer unless I am certain the
    drawings are only 1 way, from me to you,

    you may as well fully explode all the entites down to lines:
    Plot the entire drawing to a DXB file and reinsert the resultant
    500,000 vectors onto layer 0.
    nothing but lines, usually very short lines,

    there is nothing more useless or time wasting than a pile of vectors
    floating around a screen, do you assign COLORS and Widths to your
    lines and arcs also?

    using a pencil is faster than working in a drawing that has been
    exploded to base entities
