Please I need your help asap  this is my problem, I am using the measure command  in a road project , when I use a single block there is not problem, but when I use a block with attributes only can see the draw but the attributes dissapear , What can I do to fix it.

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...

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.
