## Battedit

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.
