   Hi

I have a slight problem which I was hoping someone might have an answer to.

I was recently hired at a new company where I enherited a couple of projects from an earlyer employee. 

This specific question concerns a huge shoppingmal which I am working on now. The person working on it before me created a large number of blocks with a Mtext tag in them for identification. However Mtext-tags does not provide the flexibility that I require when it comes to tag-rotation and moving. So, I want to change these Mtext-tags to proper attributes.... BUT... when I go in to the block editor and remove the Mtext-tag and replace it with a attribute-tag it becomes invisible as soon as I close the block editor!

I also tried to make a new proper block and redefine the bad exising one, but that clears all the blocks in the drawing of that kind.

I must find a solution to this as I dont have the time to manually click out new blocks at every position.

Someone got any ideas?

I am using Autocad Lt 2010 on a PC.

Best regards

Fredrik

	Give this a try: Edit the block. Then, click on the tag and view that tag's properties. In the MISC section of the properties, you should see 'Invisible'. Make sure that value is 'No', then Save and Exit the block. IF the tag is still invisible in the main dwg, type in ATTSYNC, <Select> the object, then end the command with <Yes>.
