=ATTRIB=;

-Data Section-

=END=;

The standard attributes are stored as a sequence of Attribute Data Blocks, terminated by a Data Block Type 999 (End of List).

In a drawing file, these standard attributes are a default attribute set to be used when creating position numbers within this drawing.

In a library file, these standard attributes are a default attribute set to be used when creating a new block in a library. The use of standard attributes eases the creation of blocks that have a huge number of equal attributes, like e.g. when creating a furniture library, where each block shall have the attributes "Part No.", "Price" and "Material". In this case, these three attributes are first defined as standard attributes and then copied to every created block. Standard attributes do not replace the attributes assigned directly to the blocks. If a standard attribute named "Price" is defined, this attribute is not automatically defined for all blocks of the library. Instead, it has to be copied to a block during creation to become "active".
