Description |
Sets modes for the attributes: |
|
Fixed: N |
Uses the default value; the user cannot change the value. |
Hidden: N |
Hides the attributes; they are not displayed and not printed. (Hidden attributes can be displayed with the AttDisp command.) |
Defined: N |
Inserts attributes without prompting the user; the attributes can be changed later with the AttEdit command. |
Validate: N |
Forces the user to enter the value a second time; this helps to ensure the value is entered correctly. |
<PROceed>: |
Press Enter to continue with the remainder of the command. |

Specifies the tag of the attribute; this is the name by which Bricscad identifies the attribute. You can use up to 255 letters, numbers, and punctuation. |

Specifies the user prompt; this is displayed at the command prompt when the attribute is later inserted in the drawing. You can leave this field blank; Bricscad uses the tag as the prompt during attribute insertion. |

Specifies the default value; this is displayed in angle brackets, like <360>. As with other defaults, the user need only press Enter to accept this value. |

Specifies the style and justification of the text:
