You can just open the symbol's dwg file in AutoCAD (it is probably in your
...\libs\jic1 or ...\libs\jic125 folder) and add the appropriate ATTDEF
entities, just like any normal AutoCAD block (in fact, it is just an AutoCAD
block). Attributes you want to add are probably LOC and DESC1 through DESC3.
If you want it to trigger the INS/EDIT dialog to pop up when you insert it,
add attribute TAG1F with a default value of "GND" or something like that.
You can make this attribute definition as invisible if you don't want to see
it. Save the modified dwg file. Purge the block from any existing dwgs and
now you should see your new symbol show up when you insert the symbol from
the AcadE icon menu.
