PERFORMANCE
The learners shall be able to prepare Plan using CAD.
STANDARD
I. OBJECTIVE 1. enumerate the Mode panel options in the Attribute Definition dialog box;
2. identify the different step by step procedure in setting up Attribute Definition; and
3. appreciate the importance of attributes definition in a drawing.
II. SUBJECT
CREATING ATTRIBUTES
MATTER
CG, TG, LM
III. PROCEDURE
Remember these things before during and after you work on your computer.
Instructions -
1) Divide students into groups of four and assign each group a computer.
2) Each group explores the Mode panel options in the Attribute Definition dialog box.
3) Groups will present their findings to the class.
WHAT IS IT!
Assessment Questions:
1) What are the different options available in the Mode panel?
Analysis 2) How do the options influence the attributes defined in a drawing?
3) Why is it important to understand these options?

NEED TO KNOW
CREATING ATTRIBUTES
Attributes can be added to block definitions for making them more informative. It is like a tag or an
informative text associated with a block used for tagging drawing components. For example, you
can add an attribute to a door or window block of a drawing indicating its manufacturer’s name,
size or description. You can also add visible as well as invisible attribute values to the blocks. For
example, the name of a manufacturer of a furniture block can be kept hidden so that it remains
invisible from drawing area to add privacy whereas the type of furniture can be made visible so that
it appears in drawing area.
In this lesson, you will learn the methods of making, modifying and using Attributes in your
AutoCAD drawing. Let’s start with defining attributes.
LESSON PLAN
DEFINING ATTRIBUTES
Let’s make a sample of a door tag icon that will show door number and
sheet number from your floor plan as shown in the illustration where: D1 is
the door number; and A1 is the sheet number.
1. Create a circle with a horizontal line passing through its center (a hexagon
can also be used but circle is commonly used for the door attribute and
hexagon is for window attributes);
1. Click on the Define Attributes icon on the Block Definition panel of the
Insert tab or use the shortcut command ATT and press enter. A new Attribute Definition
window will pop up. Perform the following set up.
1. Position the DOOR tag. Click at a point approximately at the middle of the upper half of the
circle as shown in the illustration.
2. Repeat the process as explained in steps above to insert one more attribute in the geometry in
the lower half of the circle and name it SHT_NO for the sheet number. This time position it at
the middle of the lower half of the circle. Your output should look like the illustration as.
MODIFYING ATTRIBUTES
To modify an attribute definition (ex. DOOR_NO.), double-click on it. A new Edit Attribute
Definition window will appear with all defined fields of the related attribute, like Tag, Prompt and
Default values. You can change respective fields in this Edit Attribute Definition window, and click
on OK to accept the changed values.
WHAT’S MORE
Task 1 - Students will create a technical drawing incorporating at least three attributes, applying
their knowledge from the lesson.
Question 1 - How would the absence of attributes affect the interpretation of a technical drawing?
Answer 1 - Without attributes, essential information may be missing, leading to misinterpretation
Application
and potential errors in construction or manufacturing.
Question 2 - In what ways can attributes enhance teamwork in drafting projects?
Answer 2 - Attributes provide clear information that can be easily communicated among team
members, ensuring everyone is on the same page regarding the drawing's specifications.
Question 3 - Can you think of a situation where a specific attribute could change the outcome of a
project?
Answer 3 - For example, defining materials in an attribute can significantly affect the cost and
feasibility of a project, leading to different construction methods or material choices.
Students will research different software used in technical drafting and their attribute
