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.
Multiple Lines
Specifies that the attribute value can contain multiple lines of text. When this
option is selected, you can specify a boundary width for the attribute.
NOTE In a dynamic block, an attribute's position must be locked for it to be
included in an action's selection set.
Attribute
Sets attribute data.
Tag
Identifies each occurrence of an attribute in the drawing. Enter the attribute
tag using any combination of characters except spaces. Lowercase letters are
automatically changed to uppercase.
Prompt
Specifies the prompt that is displayed when you insert a block containing this
attribute definition. If you do not enter a prompt, the attribute tag is used as
a prompt. If you select Constant in the Mode area, the Prompt option is not
available.
Default
Specifies the default attribute value.
Insert Field Button
Displays the
Field dialog box. You can insert a field as all or part of the value
for an attribute.
Multiline Editor Button
When Multiple Line mode is selected, displays an in-place text editor with a
text formatting toolbar and ruler. Depending on the setting of the
ATTIPE on
page 2166 system variable, the Text Formatting toolbar displayed is either the
abbreviated version, or the full version.
For more information, see the
In-Place Text Editor.
NOTE Several options in the full In-Place Text Editor are grayed out to preserve
compatibility with single-line attributes.
