  2. Right-click to display the shortcut menu.

  3. Select the Properties command.

  4. Edit Block Graphics Properties—On the Block Properties dialog box, in the Properties area, add or edit property names and values that refer to the block's graphical representation.

  5. Edit Block Layer—You can move the block occurrence to another layer by selecting a layer setting from the dropdown list.

  6. Set or clear the Scale Dimensions and Annotations option.

  7. Edit Block Origin Point—The X, Y coordinates of the block origin point can be changed by typing new values in the X and Y text boxes. Press ENTER to apply the change.

  8. Edit Block Label Properties—If a label is included in the block definition, the Block Properties dialog box expands to display name-value options under the Block Label area. You can confirm or edit the label value, as well as any of the text display settings. To learn more about the block label options, see the Help topic, Block Label Properties dialog box.
