DB apperance depending on attribute value Printed From: CAD Forum Category: EN Forum Name: AutoCAD Forum Description: Discussion about AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, viewers, DWG and DWF formats, Design Review, AutoCAD 360, add-ons URL: https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=10728 Printed Date: 29.May.2026 at 17:16 Topic: DB apperance depending on attribute value Posted By: Macieto Subject: DB apperance depending on attribute value Date Posted: 10.Oct.2014 at 15:15 Hi there! I'm wondering if there is a possibility to change block apperance (for example dimensions) by attribute value? For example lets say that I have DB with just linear stretch and I want my DB to read stretch value from attribute value. If YES, Then I'm able to export/import attributes and automaticaly change dimensions of multiple blocks. possible?

We might be able to add DB visibility states to our "DwgText" import/export utility. ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner Posted By: Macieto Date Posted: 10.Oct.2014 at 16:11 Thx for quick respons Vladimir For now I do not care about visibility state. I've prepared test DB block to show what I would like to achieve. Block contains two attributes (lenght_att, height_att) and two streatch actions based on two parameters (lenght_parameter, height_parameter). Because I have attributes I have possibility to do export/import attribute data. And I would like sth to read/write attributes value into parameters value: lenght_att >>> lenght_parameter height_att >>> height_parameter possible to do in "DwgText"? uploads/38935/test.dwg" rel="nofollow - uploads/38935/test.dwg Vladimir Michl wrote: It won't be possibe just by changing the attribute value but you can use a LISP utility to change the attribute AND the visibility state at the same time.
