Insert block with attribute button macro

I have a toolbar button that inserts a block containing an attribute. This block is used continually but has different values for the attribute text. What do I need to do in the toolbar button macro to automatically enter the attribute text value instead having the dialog box pop-up for the entry?

^C^C-layer s EFIRE ^C^C-insert "sqr1=";\\\\^C^Ca0

 

^C^C-layer s EFIRE ^C^C-insert sqr1=

 

Lynn,
you have to diasble diabox
(setvar "attdia" 0)(command "insert" "bl_name" "0,0" "1" "1" "0"
"att_value")
insertion point, scale or rotation you can substitute by pause

ps afer it good idea to reset attdia to previous state

Or macro:
^C^Cattdia 0 -insert dd \1 1 0 3;attdia 1
where you can modify att_value and/or point & scale
uu

 

Also, you don't need the second set of ^C^C, and extra space or semicolon works just fine to close the layer command.

Instead of:
^C^C-layer s EFIRE ^C^C-insert sqr1=

try:
^C^C-layer s EFIRE;;-insert sqr1=

 

But it will work either way.

 

That's actually a rather new feature. In the past "canceling" the layer command would also cancel any changes made during the command. I'm not sure if all the other commands will function properly if not properly exited, so I would suggest leaving the command with an "enter" (space or semi-coln) rather than two cancels.

As a side benefit a single space or semi-colon is a lot less typing than ^c^c.

 

I agree, I was just modifying what he had already done. I tested it and it
worked so I left it alone.

 

Thanx to all for their input.

Here is what I used:
^C^C-layer s EAUXL;;attdia 0 -insert "cir1=";\\\ H;attdia 1^C^Ca0

Where cir1 is the block and H is the attribute value. However, I am not getting a prompt for the rotation of the block.

I had to use the second set of ^C^C for a lisp routine at the end (it rotates the attribute to 0 degrees); tried using (2) ;'s but it would not execute.
