	Could the layer that the attributes are on be turned off or frozen? Are the attributes supposed to be visible? Some people make their attributes invisible on purpose.

	I check it both things, the layer is on and not frozen, and the attributes are in visible option, I did a test making a block with a circle and attributes, when I used the measure or divide command with that block the circle apears but not the attributes.

	I believe that's how MEASURE handles blocks with attributes, it is inserted with the default attrtibute, which may be blank in your case. You'd need to edit each insert, or create a block with defaults being what you want, or use constant attributes.

	The block is created with default, if I use the constant option I can't change the attribute because to change the block it is necesary use the block editor and that take a lot of time. thanks

	At least , if somebody have my same problem use "BATTMAN" command with Sync option and in that form you can see the attributes.

	You could roll your own using vlax-curve-getPointAtDist. Here's one I did last year... http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?46309-CopyAlongCurve.LSP-Divide-Measure-Dynamic&highlight=copyalongcurve You'll have to be a member. Edited by alanjt - 05.Apr.2011 at 22:41

	You can use MEASURE/DIVIDE (or the new Array in ACAD2012) to copy/place blocks along curves but block with attributes are inserted without any attribute data. If you then need to use a common attribute value, use ATTEDIT. If you need a sequential counter, use our InsertC/BlockC - see Download.
