    Default block description after the fact

    I'm probably missing something obvious, but is there a way to add a block description after the fact? It's easy to do when initially creating a block, but I've got a drawing with a lot of symbols already placed, and non-descriptive names. I don't see anything in BE that lets me include the description for the entire block.

    While in BE hit Ctrl 1 for the Properties Palette you can enter the info there.

    Is that what you're looking for?

    You'd think you would be able to do this via the Block Editor (_BEDIT) button... but it turns out you can only get back to the Description box again by using Create Block (_BLOCK).

    Odd. It took me a long time to discover that too. It's still this way in LT 2012.
