Symbol Attribute Customisation

General

All of the symbols supplied with EDS have consistently sized and coloured attributes. In general these are well proportioned relative to the blocks they are in.

If you wish to modify the size of attributes of the symbols this needs to be done in the symbol files. It would be a very time consuming task to do this for all of the symbol files individually, so there is a utility program provided to automate this process: Block Manager.

You may change any property of the existing attributes of the supplied symbols including (but not limited to): prompt, layer, colour, height, text style, position, orientation and alignment.

You may not change the attribute tag or name. EDS uses the attribute tag to identify each attribute and extract or write its contents.
