Attribute values are case sensitive.
Select Attributes: Select only those attributes parallel to the current UCS
AutoCAD LT marks the first attribute in the selection set with an X. You can change any properties of the attribute you select.
Value / Position / Height / Angle / Style / Layer / Color / Next <N>: Enter the property to change, or press ENTER for the next attribute
If the original attribute was defined with aligned or fit text, the prompt does not include Angle. The Height option is omitted for aligned text. For each of the options, except Next, AutoCAD LT prompts for a new value. The X remains on the current attribute until you move to the next attribute.

Changes or replaces an attribute value.

Substitutes a new attribute value for the entire attribute value.
New Attribute value: Enter a new attribute value or press ENTER
If you press ENTER, the attribute value is set to a null string.

Enter text insertion point: Specify a point or press ENTER
AutoCAD LT prompts for a new starting, center, or end point, depending on the position of the attribute. If the attribute is aligned, AutoCAD LT prompts for both ends of a new text baseline.
Changes the text height.
New height <current>: Enter a value, specify a point, or press ENTER
If you specify a point, the height becomes the distance between the specified point and the start point of the text.
Changes the rotation angle.
New rotation angle <current>: Enter a value, specify a point, or press ENTER
If you specify a point, the text is rotated along an imaginary line between the specified point and the start point of the text.
Changes the text style.
Enter a new style or press ENTER for no change: Enter a style name or press ENTER
Changes the layer of the attributes.
New layer <current>: Enter a layer name or press ENTER
Changes the color of the attribute.

Global editing applies to both visible and invisible attributes.
Editing attributes globally limits you to replacing a single text string with another text string. If you edit attributes one at a time, you can edit any or all of the attributes.

Related Commands: ATTDISP globally controls the visibility of attributes. DDATTEXT and ATTEXT extract attribute data. ATTDEF and DDATTDEF create an attribute definition for text to be associated with a block. DDATTE uses dialog boxes to edit attributes independently of the block definitions with which they're associated.
System Variables: ATTDIA causes the INSERT command to use dialog boxes for entry of attribute values. ATTMODE controls the attribute display mode. ATTREQ determines whether the INSERT command uses default attribute settings during insertion of blocks.
