Block attributes popup window

shulinl — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 21:20:30 GMT

A few versions ago, I used to be able to single click a block and its attributes automatically show up in window on the side. I could go in and change any attribute I need to.

Now I don't see this feature. What command do I need to bring this back?

Thanks

~~Single click doesn't make sense, because you can not selects blocks anymore to do other edits..~~

~~But it can work if you start the command first, or you DOUBLEclick on a blockreference~~

~~Or you talking about the properties palette, CTRL+1~~

See We.Tanks reply below!

Or was it a toolset, instead of AutoCAD?

Sounds like you're describing "selecting" a block (single click) and having its properties (including attributes) appear in the Properties palette. If so, make sure PICKFIRST is set to 1 (on).

Little hint: You don't need pickfirst for using the properties palette.

I had deactivated the attributes on my test station - stupid and thanks for the correction.
