Editting attributes 1

[Sinus007]

Hi,
I'm kind of new to Autocad, so sorry if the questions are naive. I'm using AC2000. I have a block with a number of attributes. Q1: is there a way to change the order in which attributes appear in "Edit Attributes" window when I insert this block? Q2: can I change the size of this window, so I can see 10-11 attributes at a time without using "NEXT" button? Right now it displays only 8 attributes at a time. Thanks in advance.

Q: Is there any easy way to alter the order of attribute prompts for files with attribute definitions. We commonly use schedules with numerous attribute definitions that can become quite confusing if they are not prompted in a logical order. The solution seems to depend on the hexadecimal handle value since attributes with lower handle values are shown/prompted before those with higher values. My work-around is rather cumbersome since it involves creating attribute definitions in the order they will be prompted, which leaves few options if you need to go back and insert something.

A: Unfortunately, you have found the only way to change the order of the attribute prompts. If you select the attribute definitions all at once with a window, crossing or other similar method, the only thing AutoCAD has to go on is the order in which the objects appear in the database. Instead, select the attribute definitions one-by-one in the order in which you want them to appear.

Oh, I almost forgot. Do you have the Bonus/Express tools from Autodesk. BATTMAN from these will let you alter the order also.
