How to Globally Change Attribute Height in AutoCAD
With Autodesk's AutoCAD versions 2000 through 2012, you can create two-dimensional and three-dimensional representations on the computer. The program provides you with editing tools to modify the form of the AutoCAD drawings and models. Most of these tools execute by commands or buttons on a toolbar, but you can use the Properties Inspector window to change many object attributes globally, such as layer, text height and color, by typing a value into an attribute field or selecting an option from a drop-down menu.
