Preview block with filled text attributes before inserting


Recommended Posts

Posted

Like the title says, is this possible with lisp?
Will post some dwg example if needed, but its simple, I have a block with text attributes and I'd like to preview it before inserting in drawing, the point of this is to choose best possible place for it in the drawing with regards to other objects so there is no text overlap. Couldn't find any info on that searching the forums.

Check the second part of Lee Mac's answer HERE.

 

This by Kent Cooper may help with attributes

 

Notice both use grread.


Forgot to say the block is not dynamic, its regular simple block with insertion point and text. I'll check those links. I don't need snapping so grread would be okay to use

The process should be the same, just skip the part where they are manipulating the block to set visibility.

 

If I have time I'll look at it, I had that marked to manipulate dynamic blocks, but looks easier if just an attributed block, IMO.

Old fashioned pop menu had insert with "drag" option, this allowed position and rotation.
