AQucsaiJr Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I have searched for an easier way to do this and found Lee's MacAtt.lsp which is very close to what I need, but I need it to change text strings such as Multiple line, Single line, and Attribute Values. I don't need it to call out a specific block, or specific attribute to find because I just need to change already existing text. Currently I use RepString.lsp using ScriptPro to run it through multiple drawings. Anyone have a LISP file that can do this? I just need options: what text to find. what to change the text too. select folder that contains the drawings I want to change this text in. Quote
Freerefill Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 You can take a look at the Text Find/Replace and Batch Engine links in my signature. That should be everything you need. If you need more help on how to use them, send me a private message on this forum or email me. I'd be more than happy. ^.^ Quote
AQucsaiJr Posted October 14, 2009 Author Posted October 14, 2009 Wow... You added so many options to you batch engine. You should think about creating a menu to make it a little more user friendly, unless I am missing something. This does seem to have the options I am looking for, but I will have to play with it a while to figure out exactly how to use it for what I am after. Thank you for your help. Quote
AQucsaiJr Posted November 2, 2009 Author Posted November 2, 2009 This is what I am looking for... I need to figure out how to make some adjustments to it to fit my needs, but for anyone who was wanting something similar to what i explained, this is it. Quote
bbreal Posted May 24, 2024 Posted May 24, 2024 Hi, I'm getting drawings where I've to change one text, same in all. Trying to find way to do it and can't seem to get anything to work. Maybe cause drawings are coming from Japan, I've multiple drawings all with same change. Drawing attached for reference. Text on title bloct needs to change from K_MAA to A_MAA A_MAA346939.dwg Quote

The "TEXT" you are trying to change is an "ATTRIBUTE". Try Batch Find & Replace Text | Lee Mac Programming (lee-mac.com) should work with Attributes. Quote
bbreal Posted May 24, 2024 Posted May 24, 2024 Hi, I have normal Uk/Irl cad. I tried that from Lee and doesnt work. It works on single drawing but not on a folder of drawings. No idea why. I changed loads of settings on the software with no luck. Quote

bbreal Posted May 27, 2024 Posted May 27, 2024 Hi, tried that and didn't work for me, did you say the command to get it on autocad is FindReplaceNew ? I rarely do lsp's so the command is probably in the file itself. I loaded it and seemed to upload. Sorry for the silly questions. Quote
Steven P Posted May 28, 2024 Posted May 28, 2024 Trying to work out what the problem is, did you try this as a stand alone function on a single drawing? The function doesn't have a 'C:' in front of the name so have to run it with the brackets (FindReplaceNew old_text new_text) I have taken this from my LISP library so it is very possible that I didn't include all that is necessary for it to work, Below is another little function that asks the user to input the old and new text, load this one and the first I posted, the command for this is txtfindreplace - it should then run the other code. (defun c:txtFindReplace( / old_text new_text) (setq old_text (getstring T "OLD Text to replace (replace in this model/paper space and text case as entered): ")) (setq new_text (getstring T "NEW Text: ")) (FindReplaceNew old_text new_text) (princ) ) Quote
