Select specific blocks inside polyline and update the selected Mtext/Text information

Select the specific blocks inside polyline/polygon and update the selected Mtext/Text information into below mentioned tag values of the blocks

tag names: ST_NAME

HSE_NO

It should ask the Block name.

Is this a question, using Map or a lisp

Are you talking about Attributed Block ?

What is the new text string that you want to replace the current one with ?

Sample drawing mostly describes the goal much more better than words

Please find the attached Dwg

test1.dwg

I see the the tag name ( ST_NME and HSE_NO) are Invisible and even when changing the value they won't be seen .

I am trying to remember the post but I did a lisp for selecting text within a polyline it should be simple to modify to find a block and update the attribs is part2.

here is a start needs modifying to look for Insert, the dwg posted has no info about what is to be replaced need more detail.

Just use a lisp, ssget with a filter for the block UTUID and update, just pick street name 1st then select relevant blocks say by a polygon window. Plenty of examples around. I would do multiple at a time rather than 1 lot at a time.

Use fields value rk25134. you only have to do it once. Whatever is the value on the the TAGS ST_NAME and HSE_NO the TEXT string value will follow or is it the other way around? But still, FIELDS is the way to go.

Pbe nice idea just pick text as a field if you rename blocks update.

I guess we will never know if its enough to solve the OP's problem, perhaps the OP has all but given up on this thread.

can we update the text value into the block which is are laid in closed polygons/polylines

Yes. as long the source is either TEXT/MTEXT/Attributes

Need a lisp for below requirement

I need to update automatically the block attribute of tag value (HSE_NO) from the text/mtext located in the same closed polygon.

Ex.

1. In a closed polygon/polyline there will be a text or mtext having some values that need to entered into the blocks which are locating in the same closed polygon/polyline

2. text/mtext is in layer HSENO and the block attribute is HSE_NO

3. I tool will find more than one text/mtext that need to entered into another block which is located in the same block.

have a look at my last post here http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?90457-Counting-Blocks-Within-a-Boundary

Please find the attached lisp, need to any modifications please let me know

Please change the code accordingly
