Using DDEDIT, you can edit text in a dialog box. One of three dialog boxes will be displayed depending on the type of text you select.
If you select text that was created using TEXT or DTEXT (line text), AutoCAD LT displays the Edit Text dialog box. If you select text created using MTEXT (paragraph text), AutoCAD LT displays the Multiline Text Editor dialog box.
If you select an attribute definition, AutoCAD LT displays the Edit Attribute Definition dialog box. DDEDIT continues to prompt for an annotation object after each edit operation. To end the command, press ENTER.
Modify the existing text or enter the new text you want to appear in the drawing.
For a complete listing of all the options in the Multiline Text Editor dialog box, see the MTEXT command.
Enter a new value for the tag of the attribute definition.
Enter a new value for the prompt of the attribute definition.
