Challenge exercise: Add attributes to an existing block

After creating attributes it ask me to 

 

Insert your blocks on the Furniture layer in the rooms labeled Employee Lounge and Office. The
layout of the furniture is up to you. Use Select Similar to select and arrange blocks that are
similar.
• Use the WBLOCK command to make each furniture block an individual file for easier insertion
into a floor plan.
• Use the DATAEXTRACTION command to create a table with all the attributes, in all your furniture
blocks. Place the table on the ISO A4-Portrait layout. You will have to scale the table up by 10 to
see it properly.

 

{Note: Not seeing the Furniture layer in the rooms labeled Employee Lounge and Office, also when I use Manage Attributes Command I'm giving this [: _battman
This drawing contains no attributed blocks.]z

"After creating attributes..."

 

"...when I use Manage Attributes Command I'm giving this:

 [_battman This drawing contains no attributed blocks.]"

 

If you've modified any pre-existing blocks (blocks that are already inserted in your current DWG) by adding attributes, you will have to use the AttSync command to update those pre-existing blocks with their newly added attributes.

 

"Not seeing the Furniture layer in the rooms labeled Employee Lounge and Office..."

 

Perhaps you need to add the layer.
