Jigging an AutoCAD block with attributes using .NET
Thanks, once again, to Philippe Leefsma, a DevTech engineer based in Prague, for contributing the code for this post. While researching an issue he was working on Philippe stumbled across a comment on this previous post where I more-or-less said jigging attributes wasn’t possible. Ahem. Anyway, Philippe decided to – quite rightly – prove me wrong, and the result is today’s post. :-)
It turns out that the trick to jigging a block with attributes is to add the block reference to the database prior to running the jig. I’d been coming at this from another direction – working out how to call through to the right version of the ObjectARX function, the one that allows the block reference to be in-memory rather than db-resident – but Philippe’s approach means that’s no longer needed. I see this technique as potentially being useful when jigging other entities that benefit from being database resident (Solid3d objects spring to mind), so I really appreciate Philippe’s hard work on this.
Here’s the C# code which I’ve edited for posting:- using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;

-
- // Initialize our dictionary with the tag /

- _attPos = new Dictionary<string, Point3d>();

When you run the BJ command (short for BlockJig) and specify the name of a block in the current drawing which contains attributes, you’ll now see the attributes with their default values shown as part of the block being jigged. Implementing the code to allow editing of those attributes after insertion is left as an exercise for the reader.
Update:
This code didn't work for a few situations, such as when using justification (attributes would end up at the origin after being dragged) or with MText attributes (which would start at the origin until the mouse was moved).
A big thanks to Roland Feletic from PAUSER ZT-GMBH for helping identify and diagnose the various cases.

A few comments on this code:
It's been refactored to make a single pass through the block definition to both create the block reference and collect the attribute information to store in our dictionary.
The attribute information is now held in a class, which allows us to store more than just the position in our dictionary (without using multiple dictionaries), I went to the effort of exposing public properties for the various private members, as this is generally a good technique to use (if a little redundant, here).
The dictionary now stores this attribute information against an ObjectId rather than the tag string. Roland made the excellent point that blocks can contain attributes with duplicate tags, so this is much safe. We also had to use the ObjectId of the AttributeReference, as later on inside the jig's Update() function we no longer have access to the AttributeDefinition.
