Q - question

Undocumented function for quick block attribute editing - directly edit an attribute.

A - answer To change a text or value of a block attribute in the drawing, the usual procedure is to double-click the block and find the required attribute in the advanced attribute editor dialog.

However, there is a faster way. With the Ctrl key pressed, you can directly double-click the desired attribute and directly edit its text in the in-place editor. So you can directly edit picked attributes.

Note: you run the command ATTIPEDIT, its behaviour can be controlled with the variable ATTIPE
