I revised the attribute info. in an existing wblock file and saved,(drawing borders), and now when the border is brought into a new drawing file the attribute prompts are all mixed up in order, ie, drawing no., drawing title line 1, drawing title line 2, etc. Any fix for this without recreating the WBLOCK from scratch? Thanks.

Attribute Order in a revised WBLOCK Changed, Acad lt 2000
- Thread starter Gumbay50
- Start date
The command BATTMAN simplifies the process of editing attributes (prompt, default values, order, text style, etc.), but this isn't available until ver 2002, I believe. The order of the attributes are determined from the order they were created. If creating a new block by wblocking an old one, the order of the attributes is *probably* the order you select the items for the wblock.
Try this LISP? routine. I don't know what version of AutoCAD it is limited to.
