Modify invisible data
For some functions AutoCAD Electrical adds invisible information to a block
insert or even to a specific attribute. This invisible data is called Xdata. To add
or modify this invisible data, AutoCAD Electrical provides an Xdata editor.
Edit existing invisible data
1 Click Project tab Other Tools panel
Xdata Editor.
2 Select an attribute in the drawing.
3 If Xdata exists for the attribute, select the Xdata to edit from the list in
the dialog box.
The existing name and value are shown in the edit boxes allowing you
to edit them.
4 Edit the name and value as needed. Once you click out of the edit box,
the name, or value are updated in the list.
5 Click Save Changes to update the selected block or attribute with the
Xdata changes.
Add invisible data to an attribute
1 Click Project tab Other Tools panel
Xdata Editor.
2 Select an attribute in the drawing.
If the selected block or attribute does not carry any Xdata, the list box
indicates it.
3 Click Add New.
