Block Attributes

Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to work in reverse with block attributes.
What I'd like to do is import a text file and have data from that text
file assign itself to different blocks in my drawing file.

Thanks,
Kevin

You could create a script file from your text file which calls the
-attedit command many times, selecting block and attribute name for
each attribute. There is no way in LT to programmatically select one
block and change its attributes unless you invest in third party
add-ons like the LT Toolkit or LTX.
