Numerous customizations and Express Tools do not work with Annotative Entities

Polls

Within the context of its era, which version of AutoCAD was the most STABLE?

Wednesday, 14 November 2007

AutoCAD 2008's new Annotative property for BLOCKS, TEXT, HATCHes, and DIMENSIONs does not work with AutoLISP's (ENTMOD) function. Since (ENTMOD) is unaware of the Annotative property, applying that function to any entity list will in effect kill the Annotative properties and instances of that entity.

Workarounds: Rewrite all of your code and Autodesk's Express Tools code? (File under - no reasonable workaround)
First Appeared: AutoCAD 2008
Status as of 2008 SP1: Still reproducible.
Status as of 2009: (unknown - please email with any info)
