Using Attributes for/in a Titl

tips6 · 发表于 2022-7-7 22:26:24

As a newbie to the world of AutoCAD, I'm struggling!!
I currently work as an engineer in a small M&E company. There are only three of us in the office (two elder statesman, and me). Whilst doing my electrical engineering HND, I picked up some basic CAD skills, which I'm attempting to put into action now. As the my two peers are stuck in the hand-designing ways (each to their own), I'm the only one who uses the AutoCAD software. I've managed to design a basic title block in paperspace, complete with viewport for the modelspace, however, whilst in my studies, I used a college-made paperspace which included attributes, and these could be edited ever so easily by simply double-clicking them and changing their values. Would anyone know how this is done, and if so, if there is anywhere I can go to learn how to do it effectively, or alternatively, for them to point me in the right direction of how to do it?

Thank you in anticipation of your assistance with this problem.

Tell y'what; when I get to campus tomorrow, I'll give a layman's method of doing what you're looking to do. If I end up at work and unable to answer your question right away, then I'll research it afterhours. Hopefully, I can get a copy of CAD-Lite on my personal machine, just as a basis to answer some of these questions.

I was typing out a long list of step-by-steps..but it's only really worth explaining if the person yer trying to help knows exactly what you're talking about.

When I get CAD right in front of me, I'll explain it better than the F1/Help can

What you're asking is a bit more than just "command line '...###@@#@'".

press F1, write in "Create block", go from there...find your way into block editor....then just experiment with it. 'tis the best way of learning it.

if y'still need help, i'll keep an eye out, and give pointers when i can provide 'em, but I haven't had a single point where it was easier to read about how to do something rather than just experimenting with it m'self.

Justin, thank you for your reply.

Cad64, thank you for the link. I'll crack on with it and see how far I get. Quick question though... as I already have a titleblock drawn - and I know I'm going to show my inferior side with this one - how do I "explode" it????

Here's another tutorial on attributes and blocks with attributes.

An easier solution may be to just enter text into the location you require and edit it to suit each drawing.
