I have attribute data and I want it as text
What is an Attribute?
Attributes are Data that can be held inside a Block. When you insert the Block this data may ask for information such as Title Block informtion or simply insert with data already added. This data can be displayed, however this is not Text. This is an Attribute that stays as long as the Object is still a Block. However if the Block is exploded then the data is lost.
So what can we do to get this as text so we can get rid of our Blocks but still keep the information.There is an Express Tool called "EXPLODE ATTRIBUTES TO TEXT" This is located under the Express tools tab or pulldown.
Pulldown
Express->Blocks->Explode Attribues to Text
Tab
Express Tools-\Blocks-\ (Explode Attributes to Text)
Command Line
Type: Burst
Usage
1.) Select the Block to burst
2.) Select the <Enter> Button
Now the Block has been Exploded and the Attribute data are now Text.
