[solved] Attributr "Disappearing"

Post by Whicked » Mon Oct 31, 2016 5:31 pm

I'm sure I am doing something silly. I created a block, and in the block editor I gave it 3 attributes, "Name", "Number", and "Current". I assign the tag and the prompt. When I return to my main drawing, the parts not attributes are there, but the attributes don't show. When I reopen it for edit, they are back.
I have other blocks in this drawing with the attributes working.

In the attached, 2002-1671 works as I expected, 2002-1681 does not.

Most likely the attribute definitions have been added after the block was inserted.

Synchronizing the attributes should help:
Block > Attributes > Synchronize Block Attributes
