   • TYPE = BATTMAN

   • PULLDOWN = MODIFY / OBJECT / ATTRIBUTE / BLOCK ATTRIBUTE MANAGER

   • TOOLBAR = MODIFY II

   The following dialog box will appear .

   

1. Select Block Allows you to select another block takes you back to the drawing so you can select another block to edit.

3. Found lists how many of the selected block were found in the drawing and how many are in the space you are currently in. (You must select the model tab or Layout tab . It will not find model space attributes if you are not in model space.)
