[solved/fixed] Block attributes lost on saving

Post by spatz » Wed May 21, 2025 8:29 pm

Hello,

I have a drawing with block including 7 attributes. On saving I get an error message on command line telling me: "Exception occurred. Entity NOT saved: <ID of block>". When opening the file again there is only one attribute left in block reference. To reproduce the error I synchronized the attributes (shortcut "UA") and changed the attribute values via property editor. The problem persists.

I copied the block from original file into an empty file and still could reproduce the error. My observations:
1. Layer of block reference is changed to "0" on saving
2. The attribute that is left isn't always the same, when I reproduce the error
3. I could change few attributes without getting the error but after changing at least 5 attributes the error again occurs

Does anyone have an explanation for this error?

Regards,
Stephan

Thank you for your report.

Bug report at:
https://www.qcad.org/bugtracker/index.p ... sk_id=2673

As a workaround, you can edit the block attributes each individually (select one by one) or double-click them to edit.
