   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.

	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

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

	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.

	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.

	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.
