Use the Block Editor in AutoCAD

00:03

Click on the block and you'll see a single

00:05

grip indicating the insertion point of your block.

00:09

Next,

00:09

we're going to use the block editor to change the

00:12

location of the attribute and examine the ramifications of doing so

00:16

with the block still selected

00:18

right click and choose block editor.

00:21

AUTOCAD will switch from the drawing editor to the block editor

00:24

with the individual elements of your block displayed

00:27

here.

00:27

You can edit your block,

00:29

add dynamic elements or attributes constraints or whatever you need.

00:33

We're just going to relocate the chair color attribute,

00:37

select the attribute definition and use its grip to

00:39

move it down to the front of the chair.

00:41

That's a pretty simple edit,

00:43

but it also has some interesting consequences which we're about to see

00:47

escape to deselect the at DEV.

00:49

Then click on the green check mark icon in the ribbon to close the block editor.

00:53

You will get a confirmation dialogue asking if you want to save your changes.

00:57

Click on save the changes to high back chair,

01:00

the dialogue will dismiss and the editor will change back to the drawing editor.
