Using the Move/Show Attribute tool
You can use the AutoCAD Electrical Move/Show Attribute command to edit
the attribute text of a component.
1 Click Schematic tab ➤ Edit Components panel ➤ Modify Attributes
drop-down ➤ Move/Show Attribute.
2 Pick on the graphics of the component (not on the attribute text itself;
otherwise it flips into Attribute Move mode). If there are no graphics to
pick on (such as wire number block/attribute or ladder line reference
block/attribute), type "B" and space and then pick on any attribute on
the block insert. This forces the command into attribute display mode.
The Show/Hide Attributes dialog box opens, listing all of the attributes
and their values of the component.
3 Check the Edit Attributes box in the upper right-hand corner of the dialog
box.
4 Select the attribute you want to edit from the list.
A dialog box opens and lets you type in a new attribute value.
