    <description>&lt;P&gt;Good Afternoon Forum,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have an existing title block with 8 attributes within it; Date, Scale, DWG name etc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Im trying to add another one to the list, DWG Ref. However when I go into block editor and add the new attribute then save the block, the new attribute doesn't appear either in the block or in the enhanced attribute editor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can anyone help?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Im using AutoCAD for Mac 2015 on macOS Sierra 10.12.6.

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5624047"&gt;@twhitwell6&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After you have edited your block, use ATTSYNC or BATTMAN to have it update to the new definition.&amp;nbsp; If you are unsuccessful, you can attach your drawing with the existing block inserted along with the new definition. I can make a quick video that shows the steps if you like.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>Hi Tilly,&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;After adding (or even after changing) attribute definition in Block editor you need to sync changes with BATTMAN command:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;A href="http://help.autodesk.com/view/ACDMAC/2018/ENU/index.html?guid=GUID-4920952B-6809-49E7-956E-C6A94BEA6FA1" target="_blank"&gt;http://help.autodesk.com/view/ACDMAC/2018/ENU/index.html?guid=GUID-4920952B-6809-49E7-956E-C6A94BEA6FA1&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;After you pick "Synchronize block" button and confirm changes, the new attribute will appear in all block insertions.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Maxim</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Brilliant, Ive managed to add the new attribute to my layout template.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is there a&amp;nbsp;way of having the date attribute within my title block updating automatically to todays date?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, you can create attribute definition with FIELD as default value.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'd recommend you use "SaveDate" field:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="2018-02-14_23-39-10.png" style="width: 705px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/463151iBC89153D73F32D5C/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="2018-02-14_23-39-10.png" alt="2018-02-14_23-39-10.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;as it will update the value of the attribute on each save, while "Date" field will not be updated unless you will use&amp;nbsp;UPDATEFIELD command to update it manually.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
