Specifies the attribute tag, which identifies each occurrence of an attribute in
the drawing. The tag can contain any characters except spaces or exclamation
marks (!). Lowercase letters are automatically changed to uppercase.
Attribute Prompt

attribute definition. If you press ENTER, the attribute tag is used as the prompt.
If you turn on Constant mode, this prompt is not displayed.
NOTE For single-line attributes, you can enter up to 256 characters. If you need
leading blanks in the prompt or the default value, start the string with a backslash
(\). To make the first character a backslash, start the string with two backslashes.
