TGB Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have a dynamic block called BEAM with a parameter called LENGTH. 80% of the time it is nested with frames and row spacer blocks in a block called RACK TYPE (i.e. RACK TYPE A, RACK TYPE B, RACK TYPE C, ...) At aisle ends or near obstructions I'll insert the block BEAM un-nested. Any way to select the nested and un-nested BEAM blocks at the same time? I am trying to update the parameter LENGTH for all the BEAM's at one time. Running AutoCAD Mechanical 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 You could do it with some code, but not in basic AutoCAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Any canned (already) developed code I could try? Is there a simple place to start? Making the changes I previously described represents the majority of the work going from project to project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Nothing as specific as that. In addition to selecting all primary level blocks, you'd have to step through all blocks looking for that particular block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thanks for your insight. Maybe I'll keep to manually opening the RACK TYPE blocks and updating BEAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
