Attach
Applies the selected element to a one or more null elements. For this, the dialog box is closed and an input request follows.
Null elements (elements without assignment) arise when elements become detached.
Detach
Deletes the properties of the selected element and only the blank element is retained. For this, the dialog box is closed and an input request follows.
Update
Updates the element when changes have been made. For this, the dialog box is closed and an input request follows.
Infills can only be updated if they have been inserted into the drawing with the command Apply infill, because only these infills are linked to the saved library object.
Infills, which have been generated with the Infill command, are not referenced to saved objects and cannot therefore be updated.
