Explode Attributes: BURST

()

Ribbon: Express Tools > Explode Attributes (in Blocks)

Menu: Express Tools > Blocks > Explode Attributes

Keyboard: _BURST

Ungroups blocks, creating separate entities for each element and converting attributes to text. The resulting exploded entities are placed on the block layer (not the layer of the original entities) while the exploded attributes are placed on the layer of the original attribute.

The Explode Attributes command is best used if you want to explode a block with attributes and have it retain the same visual appearance for properties and text. However, if you want to explode the block to modify the block definition and redefine it, you should use the Explode command, not Explode Attributes.

FILter/<Select entities>: Select the blocks with attributes that you want to explode, then press Enter.
