Auto attributes --notes

(OP)
Hi All,

I have some notes which are linked to custom properties and am attempting to create a block containing them. I'm getting squirrelly results with the auto attributes going nuts and inserting multiple duplicates of the same attribute and hosing all the notes. The attribute editor will not allow me to delete them nor alter them. Is there a way to do either??

Thanks

RE: Auto attributes --notes

..Just box selecting 6-7 notes and creating the block. Then the notes are hosed once they are in the new block.

After a lot of screwing around I achieved what I wanted to. Also, to replace a block with another saved block of the same name after deleting it from the slddrw file, the SW app needs to be stopped an restarted THEN a new (or old) saved block of the same name can be inserted into a dwg. To clear the cache?  Looks like the block functionality in SW is just buggy.

No, I'm not an ACADer anymore!!  thumbsup
