What Are Attributes? #

An attribute is a label or tag that attaches data to a block. Examples of data that might be contained in an attribute are part numbers, prices, comments, and owners’ names.

When you define an attribute, you specify

• A unique tag that identifies the attribute by name
• A prompt that can be displayed as the block is inserted
• A default value that is used if a variable value is not entered at the prompt

You may pick the insert point by mouse to insert the attribute.
