(either Y for on or N for off). Entering i, c, v, p, l, a, or m toggles the modes
on or off. Press Enter when you have finished adjusting the mode settings.
The
AFLAGS (page 1168) system variable stores the current mode settings and
can be used to set the default modes.

block.

Constant Gives attributes a fixed value for block insertions.
Verify Prompts for verification that the attribute value is correct when you
insert the block.
Preset Sets the attribute to its default value when you insert a block containing
a preset attribute.
Lock Position Locks the location of the attribute within the block reference.
When unlocked, the attribute can be moved relative to the rest of the block
using grip editing, and multiline attributes can be resized.
NOTE
In a dynamic block, an attribute's position must be locked for it to be included
in an action's selection set.
Annotative Specifies that the attribute is annotative.
