Battedit

Parent Previous Next

Edits the attributes of a block reference


This command is very similar to Bricscad's EATTEDIT command, except that BATTEDIT allows to define the visibility of any attribute.


Command: Battedit


Select a block: <select a block reference>


If you select a block reference containing attributes, the Battedit dialog is opened.

If the block reference does not contain attributes, or if you select anything other than a block reference, an error message is shown, and selection is repeated.


The dialog always shows the name of current block definition, as well as the name of active attribute, which will be modified.



Apply


If an attribute property has been changed, the Apply button gets active - if used, it updates the block reference with current attribute values.



Tag  specifies the attribute identifier (should be unique !)


Prompt  the prompt string to be displayed when the block is inserted


Value  specifies the current value for the attribute


Visible  specifies whether the attribute is visible or not



Text Style  specifies the text style assigned to the attribute


Justification  specifies the text justification assigned to the attribute


Height  specifies the text height assigned to the attribute


Rotation  specifies the text rotation angle assigned to the attribute


Backwards  specifies whether the attribute is displayed backwards


Upside down  specifies whether the attribute is displayed upside-down


Width Factor  specifies the text width assigned to the attribute


Oblique Angle  specifies the text oblique angle assigned to the attribute


Layer  specifies the layer assigned to the attribute


Linetype  specifies the linetype assigned to the attribute


Color  specifies the color assigned to the attribute


Lineweight  specifies the lineweight assigned to the attribute


Plot Style  specifies the plotstyle assigned to the attribute (disabled when the drawing is in color-dependent mode)


This dialog is free resizeable, and will maintain size and position of the dialog across BricsCAD sessions.
