Update Block References
You can update attributes in all block references in the current drawing with
changes you made to the block definition. For example, you may have used
the Block Attribute Manager to modify attribute properties in several block
definitions in your drawing but elected not to automatically update existing
block references when you made the changes. Now that you are satisfied with
the attribute changes you made, you can apply those changes to all blocks in
the current drawing.
You can also use ATTSYNC to update attribute properties in block references
to match their block definition, or to update a block instance after you redefine
a block attribute using BLOCK, -BLOCK, or BEDIT.
Updating attribute properties in block references does not affect any values
that have been assigned to those attributes.
Edit Attributes in a Block Reference
You can select an attribute in a block reference and use the Properties palette
to change its properties, or you can use the Enhanced Attribute Editor to
modify all the attributes in a selected block reference.
