Purpose: Insert attributes into blocks with attribute synchronization

Note: Synchronize attributes (equivalent to BATTMAN)
Processing mode: DWGs are processed one by one (not all at once).

This tool adds a new attribute to multiple blocks in the same DWG and forces synchronization on all existing block references (similar to the BATTMAN command).

Goal: quickly add a shared attribute to an entire family of blocks already present in the drawing, without manually replacing or recreating them.

  1. Choose the attribute name

    The software opens the DWG and asks for the name of the attribute to add.
    The attribute is created as invisible so it does not visually affect the drawing.

    Entering the name of the attribute to insert into blocks
    You define the attribute name to inject.
  2. Select the blocks to modify

    A list of blocks contained in the DWG is displayed.
    You choose which blocks will receive the new attribute.

    Selecting the blocks to be updated
    You decide which blocks get the new attribute.
  3. Insert the attribute into the block definition

    The new attribute is inserted directly into the definition of each selected block.
    It is now part of the block structure.

    Automatic attribute insertion into the block definition
    The block is updated to include the requested attribute.
  4. Synchronize block references

    The software synchronizes all existing block insertions in the drawing
    (similar to running BATTMAN → Sync).
    Result: all existing occurrences of the block now also receive the new attribute.

    Synchronizing attributes on all instances in the drawing
    Every existing instance of the block is updated.
  5. Save the DWG

    The DWG is saved with the updated and synchronized blocks.
    All targeted blocks now include the new attribute.

    Saving the DWG after attribute insertion and synchronization
    The final file is ready with harmonized attributes.
