Gragg – I think your question seems to be more one of how to do conditional looping in AutoLISP. In your case, the problem is that you must know *how many* times to repeat the loop, and if this number of iterations is determined by the number of attribute prompts that appear after inserting the block, then it will get rather tricky. What I would suggest is that you turn attribute prompting off (via a call to (setvar "attreq" 0)), and then go back and replace the values of the variable attributes using AutoLISP's (entmod) and (entnext) functions. If you need help with these, then just hollar. -TonyT.
