Problem with Solidworks Block Attributes vs. AutoCAD Block Attributes

    Hello All,

    A Block in Autocad lets me change every attribute individually.

    For example; I have a octagon block that has attributes for
    "CurrentPage" and "CurrentLine". The same block is used 21 times down
    the left margin. I use this format for electrical schematics.

    In Autocad I change the attributes to one of those blocks and the rest
    stay the same.

    I saved this block into a solidworks block and used it the same way in
    solidworks, but when I change one "CurrentLine" attribute it changes
    every "CurrentLine" for every instance of that block.

    Can anyone give me a suggestion?
