unlock locked attribute positions within a block?

unlock locked attribute positions within a block?

(OP)
I have a title block inserted into a drawing containing a number of attributes which link back to the drawing properties dialogue box. Some of the attribute tag positions are locked and some are not. I wish to reposition one of the attributes within the block to another location on the drawing sheet, but it is one that the position is locked.
Is there a way of unlocking the lock position tags so I can reposition that tag?

RE: unlock locked attribute positions within a block?

Seems that if you go direct to 'battman' there isn't a function to adjust lock or unlock, which is rather odd.

The only way I found which works is open the block in block editor, select the attribute and change its coordinates within the block (via properties or maybe just drag it) (I suppose you could do this with 'edit in place' as well but I didnt try it).

The position is therefore changed but the other blocks in my drawing weren't changed automaticly (maybe somebody can tell me why?).

So then it's to battman and sync the block.

Cheers. Sean.
