    Default Converting existing blocks with attributes to a new dynamic block

    I want to convert existing lighting blocks with attributes to a new dynamic block. I created a few visibility states but when i insert the block I can't move the attribute text around. I'm hoping that I don't have to redefine the attributes within the block editor to make this work. What is the best way to deal with existing blocks with attributes? I was going to post the files but i am having trouble uploading them

    Attedit command, will allows editing your attributes location and settings.

    First if the Attrib's exist they would need to be Locked in the new Dynamic Block
    You may need to run ATTSYNC on the Dyn Blk in the container drawing depending on how these are saved but that is easy to find out: Run ATTSYNC. Did it make any difference?
    Fallback is to recreate the Attrib's so they work properly.
    You will only be able to move the Attrib's if you assign an Parameter and Action to them. A Point/Move is the simplest.
    Point/Stretch and Rotations are the next step
