Topic Title

Not sure what the advantage is of using an attribute but required to use it because of cad standards. Is there a way to create a quick key for editing attributes rather than the multiple mouse clicks required by the software?

A couple ways.
Some, based on I think Josh Huggins thinking have modified our alt-key to edit text to first attempt a edit attribute.
H^170#^$^8#^S8^S2^F1^$^
\\ H- Change Text
this works good for 1 at a time.
Or you can use a Command Alias (or make it a Alt-Key also)

[sa]
comment=Change Symbol Attribute
alias=^170#^$^
This one, you can keep picking symbols without having to do the alt-key again.

Right, this keyboard shortcut edits symbol attributes *and* text contents; depending on which one you are hovering the cursor over.

Not sure on the method here. I am assuming you are using notepad to change the MCR file. Is H^170#^$^8#^S8^S2^F1^$^
\\ H- Change Text
all one line to cut an paste in the the "H" line to create the key stroke (alt +H) or is this two different methods of creating a quick key.
Is alias=^170#^$^
another method to the create another quick key? With either of these methods to create the quick keys I understand what they should read as but not sure how to incorporate them into the MCR file. Can I create it with the "C" key instead of the "H" key?

any line that starts with \\ is ignored as comments, so the \\ H- Change Text is an extra line that is not required.

The Alias goes in the DcadWin.dca file, and is invoked by hitting the Ctrl-spacebar and the letter(s) codes assigned to the alias, I had used [sa].

Thanks for your help on this one. Most appreciated. I used alt "C" as it was a key seldom if ever used and the keys are closer together.
