SubscribeWell it's been a delightful weekend out here in No. California. Nice and sunny - but not too hot. I saw Bourne Ultimatum over the weekend and must say I give it two thumbs up! A great action flick to be sure.
I've had a few people email me with questions about the attributes now available in the new MLEADER command (AutoCAD 2008). These are great for ballooning and other such things and are automatically created for you.
There are some key system variables that will affect how those attributes work when creating your MLEADERS that I feel need to be reiterated.
AutoCAD Hip Tip on Attribute Settings:
There are two system variables that affect how attributes behave as they are being inserted. ATTREQ and ATTDIA. The settings of these two key setvars can make all the difference in the world so let's take a look!
ATTREQ: When ATTREQ is set to 0, you will not be prompted for an attribute value as you are inserting the associated block or MLEADER. You would then need to double-click on the block (or MLEADER) to set the value. More than likely you'll want ATTREQ set to 1 to save additional steps. More than one reader emailed me with this issue.
ATTDIA: When set to 1, you will receive the attribute dialog box prompting you for a value as seen below. When set to 0 you will be prompted at the command line. This is really your personal preference.
So there you have it! I'm off to finish my article on MLEADERS for Cadalyst!
And this just in - Michael Vick pleads guilty (what a shock). If he ever plays for the NFL again I won't watch another game until he's gone (which is a huge deal for me - I even have Direct TV's NFL Sunday Ticket!). Personally, I liked Jay Leno's recommendation to put him at the front of the "Running of the Pit Bulls".
Since this is a corporate blog I'll stop right there...you can fill in the blank on how I feel about anyone who abuses animals...
