Block won't update after changes?

[huyvu90]

I have a block in my drawing where the description attribute is to the left of the block and now I want to move the description attribute to the bottom of the block instead.  I editted the block's dwg (was created with wblock) so that the description attribute is on the bottom of the block.  After editing the block's dwg file, I went back to the original drawing where the block resides but the description attribute is still to the left of block.  If I insert a new instance of the block, the description will be on the bottom of the block which is what I wanted.

What is the command to update the block so that the attribute moves to the bottom of the block?

Also when I'm in the block editor, where can I go to see the block's name?  Is the block's name the same as the dwg name that it resides in?

WHERE IS THE CONVERSION TOOLBAR LOCATED?

Did you run the Update Block utility? It deletes the old version of a block, purges the drawing, inserts the new version of the block, and reloads the attributes with their previous values.

 Where is the update block utility found in autocad 2016?. I looked under modify, tools,

Wait! Are you using AutoCAD or AutoCAD Electrical? AutoCAD Electrical installs additional menu tabs into the ribbon. One is called Schematic. There is a panel in the schematic tab named Edit Components. In the smaller group of icons within this panel there is an icon labeled Swap/Update Block.

I'm running autocad not autocad electrical.

I'm sorry. This is the AutoCAD Electrical forum. It has a built-in utility for updating blocks.

Just use "ATTSINC" instruction

This command worked perfectly except the command is "ATTSYNC" not attsinc. This solution worked where as the "Sync" button on the Block Attribute Manager did not work. Thanks
