Global Block Changes

Hello all,

I was wondering if there was an easy way to change one type of block that's already inserted into a drawing into a different block entirely. I know how to modify the block file, so it adjusts on your drawing, but I need to keep that file exactly the way it is. Let me know if this doesn't make any sense!

Thank you,

Kat

You could run this in a script:

(defun blockredefinerthingymabob
      (blocknametoredefine fullpathofnewblock)
 (if (tblobjname "block" blocknametoredefine)
   (command ".-insert"
        (strcat blocknametoredefine "=" fullpathofnewblock)
        '(0 0 0)
        (command)
   )
 )
 (princ)
)
;;usage
(blockredefinerthingymabob
 "myblock"
 "c:\\blocks\\mynewandimprovedblock.dwg"
)

you can RENAME your existing block to that of the new block and then

-INSERT

NewName=

and accept the redefine
