Tip and Trick Detail
Displaying all attributes with in the blocks of a drawing
*Applies to: AutoCAD R12, 13, 14, 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004 and 2005*

Under normal settings in AutoCAD you want to display the attributes that have been marked as visible and invisible respectfully, but there are some situations that you do.  The system variable called ATTMODE allows you to control the visibility of attributes with in your drawing.  Below is an example of the command line and a table that references the behavior for each value.

0 (OFF) -  Turns off all attributes regardless if they where set to visible or invisible.

1 (NORMAL) -  Displays all attributes in the fashion that they were defined at creation.

2 (ON) -  Turns on all attributes regardless if they where set to visible or invisible.


Command Line:
Command: attmode
Enter new value for ATTMODE <1>: 0
