AutoCAD Architecture - Editing invisible attributes

[BillAllenSE]

I added some attributes to my detail bubble block, but forgot to put default values so that they are visible when I'm editing the file (not the block). 

How can I do this?
Thank you

attsync will update the previously inserted blocks in the dwg and make the new attributes available in the properties palette.

I'm not trying to edit the attributes (and I can't find the attribute panel), but I'm trying to edit the original file (detbub.dwg). I want to move the attributes slightly.

Sorry, I still might not understand what your trying to do.

My understanding is that you want to see invisible attributes?  If that is the case then Attdisp could be set to on.

Attsync does not edit the value of attributes. It updates position, visibility, formatting and will add any new attributes to existing block references.

See file detbub.dwg. That is the block I will insert into a drawing. Two attributes are visible. Since they are visible (because they have default values), I can move them, adjust their location with respect to the bubble.

I insert detbub.dwg into drawing5.dwg as a multileader. When I'm prompted for values for the attributes, I see all 6 attributes and can enter data for the last four by clicking on the ellipses.

What I am trying to do is edit detbub.dwg not drawing5.dwg but I can't see the last 4 attributes because I didn't give them a default value.

That is the problem I am having.

Your DRAWING5 contains a different DETBUB block than your solo DETBUB dwg file: simple test, insert your posted DETBUB into an empty file. Only two attributes are editable. In that empty DWG file with only that block in it, create am MLEADER to use that block. Still only two attributes are editable.

SO.... where did DRAWING5 get it's MLEADERSTYLE with a variation of the DETBUB from exactly?

In the meantime, EXPLODE the mleader in DRAWING5 and that's the block you want to use in the interim, you can edit it to your heart's content.

See attached: I called the other DETBUB2, extra attributes are so visible and in a different font to boot.

Attribute visibility is a display option - not whether the attribute has a value.

Grips (ellipses) will display if an attribute position is not locked whether there is a value or not. (yours are locked)

Default values are not required for any of the tasks your are trying to do.

See attached.
