    Hi,
    Included in my drawing are 500 circles as blocks with attributes
    attached. Each block has 7 text attributes.
    I need to label each block with a number out of its attached attribute.

    I wasted 2 Days on this and no success.

    Is anyone here with the know how to do this by script?

    Any hints are welcome.

    Many thanks in advance

    So just turning on the visibility of the attributes won't work?

    You will have to set the other 6 attributes to Invisible.
    Use ATTSYNC to fix existing insertions.


    -or-

    Did you need to take the value of one of the attributes for use in a
    more complex label?

    Sorry my info given was not correct.

    There are only Entitys with Entity Data in the drawing.
    No Blocks.
    I can look at the data with Tools > Create or Edit Entity Data,
    selecting an Entity and a Window with the data will pop up.
    Im not talking about the Propertys of the element here.
    Every Entity has uniq diffrent data.

    How do you label these 500 entitys with one of its Entity Data?
    Using VBA would be good ?

    That was incorrect info on my part. Its Entity and Entity Data. Please
    see the answer for Mr. McSwain.
