Status:
Redefines a block and updates associated attributes (more or less attributes within block).

Command entry: attredef
1. Enter the name of the block you wish to redefine:

2. Select objects for new block:

3. Select objects:

4. Insertion base point of new block: Specify a point

New attributes assigned to existing block references use their default values. Old attributes in the new block definition retain their old values. Any old attributes that are not included in the new block definition are deleted.

Warning: ATTREDEF removes any format or property changes made with the ATTEDIT or EATTEDIT commands. It also deletes any extended data associated with the block, and might affect dynamic blocks and blocks created by third-party applications.

I've found this particularly handy when Title blocks are updated part way through a project, you can use ATTREDEF to redefine the TB's attribute block, update with new attribute list & if you set the new (additional) attribute's default field to what you require, then you don't need to modify each block manually afterwards - eg, PM signature.
