Protect block attributes

Protect block attributes

Protect block attributes

(OP)
Can I protect block attributes in AutocAD ?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Protect block attributes

what do you mean by "protect"??

RE: Protect block attributes

(OP)
:)

sorry, I didn't explain it well...

What I ment was: can I make the command ATTEDIT not functional for one block ?

I want the block to have attributes, but I don't want other people to change them...

RE: Protect block attributes

Maybe XREF to protected dwg instead of block.
No other way to protect a block within an unprotected dwg.

RE: Protect block attributes

(OP)
Ok, I'll try it.
But, if I protect the dwg with XREF, I can't also change the attributes, isn't it ?

thanks again...
