If you invoke the ATTEDIT command, it allows you to pick any part of a block insertion (with attributes) and it brings up a nice list of all the attributes enabling you to edit each value.
BUT, if I have preselected an insertion (as an ename named e), the (command "_.attedit" e) fails.
It fails even if I feed the command the ename of one of its attributes.
How can I get around that shortcoming without having to build my own DCL?

you can also do this:
(initdia)(command "_.attedit" e)
Thanks, but according to the Help, EATTEDIT is not one of the commands that makes use of initdia.
(command "_.EATTEDIT" e) worked for me without initdia. Maybe it was just because I had a lot of attributes.

Yes but _.attedit does require it since you’re wondering why that didn’t work
Thanks, @paullimapa ,
That's fair enough.
BTW, I tried adding attributes via BEDIT, but they don't show up after a Bclose/Save. Might it be because I had defined the block as non-explodable. If that's the case, how do I change it to explodable?
