Text copy w/ matchprops

Hello all,

Could anyone tell me how to alter this code? It asks to pick a value then whether to apply it once or multiple times. In multiple mode, you still only choose one at a time. I would like to be able to apply to multiple objects at once, using a selection box.

Thanks

Thanks for the updated lisp. Old one was ok but yours does the trick. Kudos!

Thanks again,

You're welcome - its also an old program, but I'm glad its still useful

Here's an old program of mine which may help: Copy or Swap Text

This lisp has been working great but two adjustments would really make this one the bees knees for myself and maybe a couple coworkers.

1. Is there any way to default the "multiple" paste function and maybe either have single paste be the selection or not at all? I've been using this rather significantly and it seems I've never had the need for this once.

2. It seems I can't use this to paste override dimensions? Is there a way to enable that? For example, there are times that I need to replace a dimension with "? E.O.S." and a cloud around it. If I could do this once and be able to copy/paste the rest would be really nice.

Thanks,
