Annotative Block

fst

Dear All,

I have created a file block. Attributes are defined with the property annotative = yes. I have edited (bedit) the current drawing and I have defined the property annotative = Yes of the block (current drawing) .

So I expect to get an annotative block when I insert it in a new file but this is not the case. After inserting the block, the property Annotative = No. Is there any reason The block does not keep the property Annotative = Yes of the file block ?

Thanks for your help

Hello.

To set a drawing as annotative, you could use the ANNOTATIVEDWG system variable and set it to 1.

Hi Virgil,

It is already set to 1 in my file block and in the destination drawing. The point is that I have set again the annotative property of the block through the drawing explorer. I can't keep the native property from my dwg file block.

I also noticed that when I create a file Block with annotativedwg=1 and I insert a geometry, Annotativedwg remain=0 but when I insert an attribute (even annotative), Annotativedwg switch to 0 and readonly.

Is that a regular behaviour ?

Thanks for your help
