The left-side of the dialog box lists the text or attributes to map to an AutoCAD Electrical toolset block while the right-side of the dialog box lists valid attribute fields to fill in.

Note: Your options may differ depending on how you accessed the dialog box.

Text value	Lists the available text values to assign to the attributes. All AutoCAD Electrical toolset attributes for the block inserted are displayed in the Text Value list (if there is a block to map with existing attribute values).
=	Transfers the text value to the selected attribute. Select a value from the list at the left and then pick the "="button next to the desired AutoCAD Electrical toolset attribute.
+	Appends the text value to the end of the current value for the selected attribute. Select a value from the list at the left and then pick the "+"button next to the target AutoCAD Electrical toolset attribute.
Pick	Picks text or attribute objects from the drawing to assign to the AutoCAD Electrical toolset attribute.
Hide	Makes the AutoCAD Electrical toolset attribute visible or invisible.
Drawing/Project	Lists the installation, location, mount, and group annotations already used on the current drawing or project.
Miscellaneous, Ratings, Positions, Pins	Opens sub-dialog boxes for changing the attribute list to reflect ratings, pins, and so on.
Delete original non-AutoCAD Electrical toolset block	Deletes a non-AutoCAD Electrical toolset block once you map all the attributes.
Delete picked text objects	Replaces the picked text with the new AutoCAD Electrical toolset attribute. To leave the selected text as is, then make sure that you turn this option off.
Zoom window	Defines an area of the drawing to fill the graphics window. Click to define the graphics window; the image is then zoomed to the area that you defined in the window.
Zoom extents	Zooms the selected block to the size of the graphics window.
Zoom in	Increases the magnification of the view so the blocks appear larger.
Zoom out	Decreases the magnification of the view so the blocks appear smaller.
