Replace on Attributed Block With Another
Hello:
I have a pile of drawings that I need to update (about 200 of them), I would like to change a block from one format to another, both blocks contain attributes and they have different names, the insertion points are one thing that will be changing, is there a lisp routine that I can use to insert the block and copy the attributes from the old block to the new and then be prompted for the insertion point?

I had a similar situation where I had a new title block with a different insertion point. I used a utility I found to copy the attributes, but the different insertion point meant that I had to manually move the block. In my case, it was only a few drawings, plus around 30 layouts. So, I just did it manually.For 200 drawings, if you can do the operation using text only, then you can use a script. I am not certain what you mean by, "both blocks contain attributes and they have different names" Do the blocks have different names, or the attributes?-Joe0

Thanks for the tip Joe, I will see what is around online. That should read both blocks have different names, but they have the same attributes and attribute names. I will look into writing a script to make the changes.0
