Good Morning world!Get the coffees in.I was wondering if you guys can help me out with something i don't know if i make myself clear.For example say if i have some blocks in my tool palette can i add custom attributes to that block for example i know how much each component weighs, is it possible to create a field for the value that will display in the properties box.Thanks guys

Including attributes is part of the block definition process.  You can put blocks that contain attributes on a tool palette, yes.  Attribute values do  show up in the Properties Manager when you select a block object.  But they won't show up on the tool palette.
 
If you want to see (or not see) what the particular attribute values are for a particular block, you need to either make them visible or invisible when you define the block.  That's up to you.
 
Hope this helped.
