AutoCAD Troubleshoot: Block Attributes Won’t stretched

February 3, 2010 by Edwin Prakoso Leave a Comment

I have someone asking me why his dynamic block is not working as he expected. He created his own coordinate label based on this tutorial on CAD Notes. Only the northing coordinate label move, and it move strangely unpredictable. As you probably have the same problem, I decided to publish it here.

First I suspected that this has something to do with defining objects for the stretch action. However, I don’t find anything wrong about the settings.

So I go further and check the attributes.

In BATTMAN, I can see the tags are marked in red. The tag names are the same!

Tag name has to be specific. AutoCAD doesn’t allow us to have more than one tag with same name.

So I changed the tag name to COORDN and COORDE. The red mark disappear, and the dynamic block works as expected.

6 Things AutoCAD Command Line Can Do for You (Infographics)

AutoCAD Command Line is the most important feature in AutoCAD. Veteran users can use two hands (one on the keyboard and the other using mouse) and draw very quickly. It is faster than relying on the GUI only.

The new users probably using GUI more than older users like me. They prefer the Ribbon and use the Command Line less. 

In this post, you can see 6 things AutoCAD Command Line can do to make your life easier. You don’t have to use them all, but at least you know it can be done. If you think it’s good, use it. But if you don’t like it, leave it.
