- [Instructor] We're staying
in our office workstation.DWG file,
and you can see the block we've created
with the attributes right there.
Now, wouldn't it be nice if I could just jump in
and edit those attributes, and perhaps change
the text color, perhaps change some settings
within the attributes themselves?
Well, you can do that very quickly
and very easily with a block with attributes.
All you've got to do is double-click on the block.
If I double-click on the block,
that'll bring up the enhanced attribute editor.
So AutoCAD knows that it's a block with attributes.
You just double-click on that block,
and that's the default setting in AutoCAD
when you double-click.
So we can select an attribute in the list,
and then we can edit it's text options and its properties.
So what we can do here is we can select the attribute,
so 1111 is the employee number, so there it is there.
So let's say that I go to the text options
for the employee number like so.
Text style at the moment is standard.
Justification is left.
Let's change that justification to right.
If I do that, can you see it moves it?
If I click again, puts it back to left again.
I can change the height.
I can change the rotation.
Now, obviously I can do all of this,
I can't change the positioning,
the actual physical positioning of the attribute, though.
I can only change the justification,
but what I can also do here is I can change the properties.
So at the moment, the layer is attributes,
which is what it was when we created the block.
The one I wanted to show you, really, was color.
I can enhance that by making that red, like so.
I'll apply that, so that's the employee number sorted out.
Let's go back to the attributes again
here in the attribute tab.
Let's now look at the employee name.
So again, I'll select that.
I'll go to the properties, change the color to yellow,
that goes yellow.
Go back to the attribute here as well.
We've got the extension number.
Let's go back to the properties again,
let's make that green.
And then what I can do is I can apply all of that,
click on okay, and now I have multicolored attributes
with my AutoCAD block.
