Need Quick Way to Edit Multi-Line Attributes

[tiger4956]

I use many blocks with multi-line attributes and would like a quick way to edit the mtext without opening the text editor, which is four rather time-consuming steps.  

What I would like is a way to click, enter text, press enter, and see the multi-line attribute change without ever seeing the attribute editor or using the text editor.

I know this is possible because the VERY useful app "Increment" by Guilles Chanteau can increment and edit multi-line attributes, but it's not quite what I need for entering text that doesn't increment.

Let's say you have a detail title block inserted ten times and you need the blocks to be numbered 1 to 10.  Increment will go through and edit the blocks instantly by just clicking on each block in succession.  No text editor, no nothing, just a click and the attribute changes instantly without a regen.

ATTIPEDIT command isn't good enough?

Or maybe command-line edit mode will fit you better:

(command-s "_.attedit" "_y" "*" "*" "*" pause "" "_v" "_r")

Double click the attribute you wish to edit while simultaneously pressing CTRL. Doing this you will bypass the edit attribute dialog window and the attribute will behave like mtext.

ATTIPEDIT is exactly what I was looking for!  I guess I just need to review all of the Autocad commands - I didn't know it existed.  Thanks!!

ATTIPEDIT or select properties and edit from there; but I also use an extra step using  Windows 10 Copy Clipboard  (windows key+V).  If you have multiple repetitive text for instance like in  many titleblock edits I use notepad or Word and list all of the text in order and copy  (Crtl+C) each separately in inverse order,  then using (windows key+V) select the text.

The trick I do is click on the block, open Properties Manager, and edit the multiline attribute within the manager
