_dk_ Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Does this edit them in multiple drawings at once? Or multiple attributes in one dwg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanjt Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 For a single drawing the Express Tool Gatte will edit everything. Lee, didn't you write an ODBX attribute editor? I think that's what he's wanting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_dk_ Posted October 28, 2009 Author Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi thanks for that. I just tried it and it says "Component "MSFlxGrd.ocx" or one of its dependencies not currently registered: a file is missing or invalid" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalucerol Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I see what can be... it's because MsFlxGrd is not registered on your system, try download it from microsoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_E_ Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Hi there, sorry to butt in on your thread, but what _dk_ is asking for would be very useful as I have a lot of dwgs to issue and need to change the same attributes in different drawings, so to have a tool to change them all in one go would be awesome! please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalucerol Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 At last! Sorry by the delay, i've been busy. I'm posting an application that seachs for dwg in a folder, then launch ACAD, gets the blocks in the dwg. From selected block reports all attributes, you can select wich attribute you want to change, and the iterates through the current drawing changing the selected att and then through all dwg in selected folder... It's like a "brute force attack", so be patient and praid ACAD don't hang. Notice: you don't launch ACAD. The program will launch acad for you, and make all the rest. It has been tested on ACAD2007, window XP SP3 running on a Toshiba Satellite with 1 GB ram. Developed in Visual Basic 6 SP6. Hope you like it, and found it useful.
