autocad script help: Multiple attributes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does anyone know of a return character to use in an autocad script file for cases where a space won't work?

For example the following line is supposed to insert a block with the attributes:

WN: GLD-7A
CR: 630

WN: GLD-8A
CR: 928

however, when run, the script instead results in:

WN: GLD-7A 630
CR: INSERT GTE 17037.634,9091.339 1 1 0 GLD-8A 928

Here is the code:


INSERT GTE 17037.634,9091.339 1 1 0 GLD-7A 630
INSERT GTE 17037.634,9091.339 1 1 0 GLD-8A 928


Thanks,

Since attribute text can accept spaces, the block insert interprets spaces in script file as spaces and not returns. Instead use returns in your script file, such as:

Insert GTE x,y 1 1 0
GLD-7A
630
Insert ......

That's too painfully obvious! I ended up using the vbCr character, since I'm using VBA to write the scripts. Thanks for stating the obvious!
