[SOLVED]Block attributes working

Post by Bourguigrognon » Thu Sep 02, 2021 1:25 pm

Good afternoon,

I have been struggling to know why my block attributes do not get invisible when changing the visibility of the block they belong to.

Below some pictures to describe my issue.

Thanks. The drawing looks fine, the attributes are connected to the block references.

However, attributes are generally entities that live on the same level as the block reference, not inside the block. As such, attributes can be visible even if the block reference is not.

You can configure this behavior under:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Behavior > Hide attributes when block references are hidden

Andrew,

Thanks a lot for your help.

Is there such a setting to avoid the block attributes not to move when changing the block position with its "handle"?

Andrew advice is usually one question/issue per topic but here it is not stated in the forum rules. See top.
"To keep the forum searchable" :wink:

Confirmed: Dragging the block origin reference marker doesn't change Attribute positions.

One can circumvent that with clicking near the block to select it and then point near a block entity to start dragging.
Avoiding the block origin reference or any attribute reference marker.
Dragging is then also by the block origin reference.

Move/Copy (MV) from-to works perfect too.

Regards,
CVH
