attribute and attributedefinition isinvisible()
attribute and attributedefinition isinvisible()
looks like there is a problem with isinvisible property for attribute and attributedefinition.
i set view->display->attribute display-> to on for a drawing in autocad and save it.
when i load the drawing using dwgdirect, oddbattribute::isinvisibile() and oddbattributedefinition::isinvisible() seems to return true. when i use odamfcapp to render the drawing, i do not see those loads of attributedefinitions that i see in autocad.
2 things effect displaying attributes:
1 - visibility property of the attribute entity
2 - attmode system variable
attmode values:
0 - all attributes are not displayed
1 - normal mode - only visible attributes are displayed
2 - all attributes are displayed.
view->display->attribute display sets attmode. it seems that in your case attmode is 2 and visibilty of attributes (entity's property) is off.
so
1. isinvisible() returns true - this is correct.
2. odamfcapp does not display them - this is dd bug.

sergey,
thanks for your quick reply and pointing me to attmode system variable.
