jjerred Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I’m running Autocad 2010 and work for an electrical contractor. I received four(4) floor plans – all of which were created with xrefs. After binding all the xrefs in all four(4) dwg files I felt that it would be best to copy and paste (in model space) all four(4) floor plans into one dwg file. (I do this often for projects – it’s easier to edit everything if it’s all in one(1) dwg file. I now have a situation regarding blocks. I will use a 110 volt wall outlet as an example. In the first floor drawing the block for this is named “EP- XREF001-110 VOLT WALL OUTLET”. In the second floor drawing the block for this is named “EP- XREF002-110 VOLT WALL OUTLET”. In the third floor drawing the block for this is named “EP- XREF003-110 VOLT WALL OUTLET”. In the fourth floor drawing the block for this is named “EP- XREF004-110 VOLT WALL OUTLET”. My objective is to rename each one so that only has a name reading – “110 VOLT WALL OUTLET” I tried the RENAME command (which is a GUI window) it changed the name but when selecting the block and doing properties on it was not changed. Note: Unfortunately I’m not familiar with Autolisp and programming in Autocad . . . Quote
