You'll then insert the block back into the floor plan. As you may remember, the
text style for the room labels is A-Label. You'll use that for the attributes.
You have to erase the room labels for now, but it will be handy to mark their
justification points. That way, you can insert the attribute exactly where the
label text is now. Follow these steps:
1. Thaw the A-ANNO-TTLB-TEXT layer. With the A-GRID layer current,
from the menu bar, expand the Utilities panel on the Home tab and
choose Point Style or enter DDPTYPE to open the Point Style dialog
box (see Figure 9.14).

2. Click the fourth point style example in the second row (the one with
a circle and an X ). Then click OK to close the dialog box.
O
a point is a single
location in space,
defined by an X, Y,
and Z position, with
no area or volume.
the point Style dia-
log box determines
how the marker at
the point location
appears. By default,
the point appears as
a single pixel, which
can be visually lost
in the drawing.
3. Set the Insertion osnap to be running, and then click the Multiple
Points button on the expanded Draw panel on the Home tab to start
the POINT command.
4. Place the cursor on the LIVING ROOM text. When the Insertion sym-
bol appears at the lower-left corner, click to place the point object.
Don't end the command yet.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the KITCHEN and BATH labels. The decks
don't have any associated text in this drawing, so you can place the
attribute anywhere you want. Press Esc to end the POINT command.
6. Erase the LIVING ROOM, KITCHEN, and BATH labels. The drawing
should look like Figure 9.15.
