why editing block is not what I want

[wfrst2008]

Hi
I received an attribute block from the client, and I need to edit some of the fields (adding or removing)
to suit our company's cad requirement.
However, when I edit the block in block manager, I see that the attribute arrangement is different, not
the same pattern before entering the block manager screen.
For instance, there are three title lines in the attribute text, but there are four in the block....etc.
How come it will be like that and how can I recover the block to display the attribute definition normally ?

thanks in advance for any help

The only strange thing in this block is that the "DWG-TITLE4" is not showing in the Attribute Editor dialog. About the position, you can move the attributes individually so the arrangement can be different on each instance. Maybe the block was created like in the exploded arrangement, then moved the elements afterwards.
There's also a possibility that this is a problem in conversion since Autocad says the drawing was not saved by an Autodesk product. My suggestion is just recreate the block and move on.

You could of course just use the AttSync / BAttMan command to synchronize the references to that block to what's in its definition.

You beat me to it.

thanks all.
Though the reason is still a secret, I did use this "AttSync" to rebuild the block.
