Load VT , start with VT (or C:VT) Click on one of the attdef's , you get the main dialog Click on setup (bottom right) and change difference to 5 , click on ok to return to main dialog Finaly click on Renum and select all attdefs , enter, done... VT uses grread in a constant loop so exit with escape, cancel or spacebar that will get you in quick menu and you can escape / Quit / cancel from there. Not all buttons will work because some are company specific like revision but for now it should get you what you need. VT.LSP

@jim78b Have you tried the Autodesk Design Center? You can drill into drawings and pull out blocks, layers, etc.. You can use a short program to pull up design center in the folder you want - something like: ;;-------------------------------------------------------- ;; Command: (C:DSN) ;; Description: ;; This Command Starts the AutoCAD Design Center window ;; in the path specified. ;;-------------------------------------------------------- (defun c:DSN ( / usrpath) (setq usrpath "C:\\MyBlocks");<--CHANGE TO YOUR PREFFERED LOCATION. (if (= (getvar "adcstate") 0) (if usrpath (command "._adcnavigate" usrpath)) (command "._adcclose") ) (princ) ) ;; End Command "DSN"

@jim78b You cannot make an AutoLISP or Visual LISP program have a modeless interface like your example unless you use a third party add-on called OpenDCL or another called ObjectDCL. Using those is also very advanced programming. Otherwise, DCL in AutoLISP can only make simple Modal dialogs (meaning you can't work in the graphics editor when they are displayed).

I am waiting for IT to install some things including updates for Visual Studio, when that gets done, I'll look into writing something better. The LISP that was posted in your other thread was a better start than this.

@jim78b I also noticed on the first line, the setq statement need to be set to something. You can't just have (setq *block_name_list*). I just put "nil" below, but it seems to want a list of Block Names? ;; This global list will store the clean names for selection (setq *block_name_list* nil);<-- Needs to be set to something ALSO: If you want someone to work on this for you. I think you need to provide a sample drawing with what you want to accomplish. I don't have time to troubleshoot this by re-creating the circumstances where this program is needed.
