From your AutoCAD HELP files:

 

"If you enter -attedit at the command prompt, the following ATTEDIT command prompts are displayed.

 

Edit attributes one at a time? [Yes/No] : Enter y or press ENTER to edit attributes one at a time, or enter n to edit attributes globally."

 

Does that help?

Can you edit the colour from ATTEDIT? I thought that had to be done from EATTEDIT, although I may be wrong- attributes aren't my strong point!

 

(Also BATTMAN might be of some interest?)

Did you try EATTEDIT?

[dbroada]

you can change their colour by redefining the block using BEDIT. This will change ALL instances of that block.

-ATTEDIT works for me in 2009. I can edit the attribute for Value, Position, Height, Angle, Style, Layer and Color. I use it because it provides for a "global" option. Use what works best for you.

Why are attributes used, i never use them

Our primary use of attributes is to dump equipment tag numbers into an Excel spreadsheet.
