BATTMAN — Block Attribute Manager

Changes the order, prompt, default value and modes of a block's attributes.

• Command: BATTMAN · Global name: _BATTMAN
• Ribbon: Insert › Attributes
• Menu: Insert

Opens the Block Attribute Manager: it changes the attribute definitions of a block (their order, prompt, default value and modes) and applies the changes to all its inserts.

Usage

1. Enter BATTMAN or click the button. If a block with attributes is selected, it opens with that block; otherwise, with the first one in the drawing.
2. Choose another block in Block: if needed. Below it you can see how many inserts it has.
3. Change in the table the Prompt, the Default and the Modes: I (Invisible), C (Constant), V (Verify) and P (Preset).
4. Click a tag to choose its row and use Move Up, Move Down or Remove.
5. Click Synchronize to apply the changes without closing, or OK to apply them and close.

Notes

• When applying, every insert of the block rebuilds its attributes from the definition and keeps the values it had (new attributes take the default value). This is what ATTSYNC does.
• The order of the table is the order in which INSERT asks for the values.
• The tag cannot be changed here. A constant attribute has no prompt.
• The change is undone with UNDO.
