Block Attribute Tools
AutoCAD LT 2010 has taken a giant
leap forward in working with attributes
in block references by including two
features previously available only in
AutoCAD.
The Enhanced Attribute Editor provides
a convenient interface for changing the
properties of individual attributes, such
as color or width factor, in addition to
entering attribute values.
The Synchronize Attributes command,
or ATTSYNC, enables you to update a
block definition after you add or remove
attributes. This is a great command
because it lets you put new attributes
(or take out ones you don't need) in
without affecting any data that already
existed in the block.
Parametric Drawing
AutoCAD 2010 software now
®
includes the ability to create and
modify geometric and dimension-
al constraints, which help ensure
that specific relationships and
measurements remain persistent
even as objects are modified.
AutoCAD LT 2010 cannot create
parametric constraints, but it
can view, use, or delete them if
they have already been created in
AutoCAD 2010. This applies both
to constraints in the normal draw-
ing environment and to constraint
parameters in dynamic blocks.
