BLOCK ATTRIBUTE TEXT TROUBLE (copy vs paste)

Firstly, I'm unable to see the attribute text within a block made by someone.  I can edit and adust but cannot find the text within Block Editor.  The issue is when copying, it keeps as I wish but copying and pasting to another location or file makes it revert to its own settings.  Please help me figure how to correct the block text itself.  Also, ATTSYNC reverts to the block's settings and not the way I adjust in the Attribute Editor.  (imade and blocks attached)

this is a dynamic block with different visibility states. Select it and then click on the triangle to change between visibility states.

In the block editor change the visibility states on the ribbon to make edits to the different states.

You do know you are using a dynamic block (aka there are many blocks inside this one block), right?

Why don't you just change the old not-available-to-you font in STYLE command from the antique "architxt.shx" to what you need it to be (ARIAL.TTF it looks like, but whatever that is your wish the final result to be).

I made that original block although it appears that someone has broken it somewhat from the original definition.

 

If ATTSYNC changes the text, then that means that there is a discrepancy between the block definition and the current attribute display.  You should correct that discrepancy at the block definition.

 

Adjust the attribute text settings within block editor to whatever you want.  

 

Once the block definition has been updated with the desired attribute display settings, then running ATTSYNC should correct the issue and provided there is not a pre-existing alternate block definition of the same name within the file into which you are pasting, all should copy/paste just fine.  If there is a pre-existing block definition, then redefine the block to the updated definition.

Hello.   When I found this nice dynamic block, I believe that I wrote a private message to you about it asking about the font.  I still cannot figure out how to adjust the font to Arial for this particular block within Block Editor.  If you would please help, this would save me so much trouble!   Yes above, it is a dynamic block which is why I'm using it rather than just using a circle and double lines!   :

@s60088g Change the old not-available-to-you font in STYLE command from "architxt.shx" to what you need it to ARIAL.TTF then REGENALL.

Ah!    I finally was able to find the setting for the font.  Whenever I clicked on each text, it wasn't showing in the Properties tab.  Now it is.... anyway, thank you!!
