Problem ENTMAKEing attribute

......with Jim Claypool's help in earlier post, I've retrieved the attribute, and am trying to pass it out to ENTMAKE, but can't get past an error, and I don't know what is causing it. For whatever reason, the ENTMAKE is failing, and I'm fresh out of ideas.

If anyone sees any red flags, or anything, I'd appreciate any comments.

This is the latest list that failed the ENTMAKE

((0 . "ATTRIB") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (8 . "pr-utl-sans") (100 . "AcDbText") (10 20.6758 -10.3052 0.0) (40 . 22.4579) (1 . "My New Text") (50 . 0.0) (41 . 1.0) (51 . 0.0) (7 . "RS") (71 . 0) (72 . 0) (11 0.0 0.0 0.0) (210 0.0 0.0 1.0) (2 . "TEST") (70 . 0) (73 . 0) (74 . 0) (100 . "AcDbAttribute") )

When I compare this to a list of an existing attribute, nothing sticks out as being a problem

Tom, you don't include the steps up to the point of entmaking the attrib, so I've got to ask....Are you entmaking an insert for the block first? So a "follow-me" list would be:

  1. entmake block
  2. entmake attdef
  3. entmake endblk
  4. entmake insert
  5. entmake attrib
  6. entmake seqend

HTH, Jeff

I think I was making several rather stoopid (in hindsight) mistakes, including trying to ENTMAKE the ATTRIB onto a BLOCK, and numerous such things.

Request for help cancelled.........for now, anyway. ;)

I didn't realize until I got further into debugging how lacking my question was.

The block is/was fine, but i had several issues which I think I've resolved.

Thanks for the response, and the above 'checklist' will be helpful.
