XDATA Editor

Greg Fisher

For some functions AutoCAD Electrical adds invisible information to a block insert or even to a specific attribute. This invisible data is called Xdata. To add or modify this invisible data, AutoCAD Electrical provides an Xdata editor. You can also change the Xdata on a block to a block attribute.
