Batch block(s) replace in multiply dwgs lisp?

As per title: is anything like that exist somewhere?

We got tons of dwgs with block "Certified as build" with sign and date printed to .pdf.

Now customer request this stamp (block) to be red colour (was black). We can do it manually but time is a factor against us. Block got not any attributes. Any suggestion? Thank you.

simple way just use a script

Open dwg1 do the same steps now as manual qsave close

Open dwg2 do the same steps now as manual qsave close

just write down the steps into notepad

There probably is a batch editor here check Lee-mac.com site he possibly has a good block editor

This may do what you want

(vl-load-com) 
 (setq adoc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))) 
 (vla-startundomark adoc) 
 (vlax-for block (vla-get-blocks adoc) 
   (if   (not (wcmatch (strcase (vla-get-name block) t) "*_space*")) ; change *_space* to name of your block 
     (vlax-for   ent block 
  (vla-put-color ent 0) ; red is color 1 
  (vla-put-linetype ent "Bylayer") ; remove this line
  (vla-put-lineweight ent aclnwtbyblock) ; remove this line
  ) ;_ end of vlax-for 
     ) ;_ end of if 
   ) ;_ end of vlax-for 
 (vla-regen adoc acactiveviewport) 
 (vla-endundomark adoc) 
 (princ) 

script open dwg1 (load "'codeabove.lsp") qsave close

Mdbdesign, use the Autolisp below to create the script containing the DWGs in a directory. Modify the two lines that appear ";

(DEFUN C:MODDWG ()
;
(SETQ DIRETORIO "D:\\PERFIS2000\\FERMAX\\GOLD") ;<<<<<<<<<<
;
(SETQ DWGLISTA (VL-DIRECTORY-FILES DIRETORIO "[url="file://\\*.DWG"]\\*.DWG[/url]"))
(SETQ DWGLISTA (ACAD_STRLSORT DWGLISTA))
(SETQ ARQW (OPEN "C:\\$LISTA.SCR" "w"))
(SETQ II 0)
(REPEAT (LENGTH DWGLISTA)
 (SETQ DWGNOME (NTH II DWGLISTA))
 (SETQ DWGNOME (SUBSTR DWGNOME 1 (- (STRLEN DWGNOME) 4)))
 (SETQ DWGNOMEX (STRCAT DIRETORIO "\\" DWGNOME))
 (PRINT DWGNOMEX)
 ;
 (SETQ TEXTO (STRCAT "OPEN " DWGNOMEX " ZOOM _E QSAVE CLOSE")) ;<<<<<<
 ;
 (WRITE-LINE  TEXTO ARQW) 
 (SETQ II (+ II 1))
)
(CLOSE ARQW)
(COMMAND "_ZOOM" "_E")
;
(COMMAND "SCRIPT" "C:\\$LISTA.SCR")
;
(PRINC)
)

OK.
