Is there a list somewhere of what the entity attribute numbers associate to?

Attribute numbers? Could you be a little more specific? I'm not sure I know what you're referring to.

Like line entity attributes for 2, 3, and 4 line walls?

Mark's got it, we see randomly say, an exterior wall line, or what I would expect to be a wall line have a value of attrib=5 and then the interior wall line have a attrib=6. I usually find this when a door or window won't properly cut into the wall as expected or a XTL cleanup won't work. I was trying to find a list of what the attributes were in the hope of figuring out what we might be doing causing mismatched wall lines without matching attributes. Maybe we are trimming curves weird or using a door or window lines when trimming somehow. Doesn't happen much but maybe once a month in our office, and from way back in the day. I looked in the manual and all the DCAL docs I have but couldn't find a list. If my memory is working today, I think 5 is for 2 line walls, and I don't recall any others.

Okay, I'm with ya now. Gimme a few and I'll whip up a list of values for you. They aren't (I think) published in any DCAL docs because as far as I know, I'm the only person that assigned and used them. And only internally to DataCAD.

I feel like I'm getting a piece of your loving soul

Okay, this is gonna take me a bit longer than anticipated. It's been a long time since I implemented that system of using the .attr field to differentiate regular lines from 2-line, 3-line, 4-line walls and door-swing arcs. It's also used for wall-line "highlighting" for the old multi-line walls.

Give me a few days to wrangle all this info together.

Okay Josh, here's what I've come up with thus far. All of the following are part if the old wall system.

• Attrib=4 : Line is part of a door
  
• Attrib=5 : Line is part of a 2-Line wall
  
• Attrib=36 : Line is part of a 3-Line wall
  
• Attrib=63 : Line is part of a 4-Line wall

Is this some triva info, or is there a way we can use this info in a keyboard/command alais/toolbar?
Maybe someone writting a new macro could use it?
