Changing TAG-name without loosing the value

Is that possible?

I can use BATTMAN for change the name but when sync, the value is gone.

I use AutoMate for doing that for one specific block name, just one per dwg, and in that script I just first copy the value and then set that value as default value.

But if I want to change TAG-name in many blocks?

    Hi.

    If you use lisp,

    have a look at this post.

    THANKS!

    Code posted July 8, 2014 by 7o7 works just fine!

    Edit: Or.. well.. as NoamBrand says in post January 13, 2019:

    "Synchronizing attributes reverts the existing values to default
    This is a big problem with the lisp"

    Hello.

    The synchronizing issue is not related to lisp, it is just the way synchronizing works.

    However, by using lisp, this issue can be overcome.
    An approach could be to first get the values, then change the tag names, do the synchronizing, and, finally, set the attributes values as they originally were.

    To get and set the attribute values, you could use the functions from Lee Mac.
