No Edits attributes whether they are visible or not. Changes to attributes are
not reflected immediately. The drawing is regenerated at the end of the
command unless REGENAUTO (page 890), which controls automatic
regeneration, is off.
Attribute values are case sensitive. To select empty (null) attributes, which
normally are not visible, enter a backslash (\).
The attributes that match the specified block name, attribute tag, and attribute
value are selected.
Either string can be empty (null). The ? and * characters are interpreted literally,
not as wild-card characters.
