Inserting Blocks

FMChandler's Photo FMChandler 20 Dec 2017

Hi Forum:

I'm new to nanoCAD. Very nice-looking product. My question is on Blocks. I've created several with attributes. Most have at least 20 attributes in them. When I insert one of the Blocks, I have to step through each of the attributes (press the Enter key) before it actually becomes visible in the Model space. Have I created these wrongly? Is that why I have to do this? Or is this normal behavior for Block insertions that have attributes? I'll attach one here for viewing.

Thanks.

Hi,
it is normal behavior for block that contains not-constant attributes, because attribute value can be different for different block insertions.
You can change ATTDIA variable to 1, at this case nanoCAD will display you dialog with all block attributes, you could change their values if you need.
Or you can set constant mode for attribute when create it in Attribute Definition dialog.
