Block atts not showing up when xref'd...

[pkirill]

I thought I saw a post on this in this NG, but of course it wasn't my problem then so I didn't pay attention - now I can't find it.... Can any one supply some thoughts on the fix for this, or point me to the original thread?

TIA

Was the block exploded leaving the resultant Attribute Definition w/ Tagstring? Attdef's won't display in an xref.... HTH, Jeff

That may have been it... Thanks!

That was it exactly - next question, anyone know of a routine to convert attdefs to text?

;;;CONVERT An ATTDEF To A TEXT Entity
;;;ARG -> ATTDEF_ename
;;;RET -> nil

(defun attdef2text (en / ed)
(setq ed (entget en))
(entmake (list (cons 0 "TEXT")
(assoc 1 ed)
(assoc 7 ed)
(assoc 8 ed)
(assoc 10 ed)
(assoc 11 ed)
(assoc 40 ed)

(assoc 50 ed)
(assoc 51 ed)
(assoc 71 ed)
(assoc 72 ed)
(cons 73 (cdr (assoc 74 ed)))
(assoc 210 ed)

(if (assoc 39 ed)

(entdel en)
