synchronize all blocks

[StevenNoppe]

If I change a block and save it to the hard disk, the blocks already on the drawing do not apply the changes. Is there a command that changes all the blocks in one click?

if you make changes to a block in the current drawing (using explode/redefine, refedit or bedit) all graphical changes should be updated immediately but any attribute changes need an ATTSYNC to get them to update.

 

If you have changed a block and want it updated in anotehr drawing you must reinsert it from the modified file and again ATTSYNC if it has attributes.

 

I don't know of any one click solutions.

Don't think there is an easy way using LT either

Well, I use block edit to change the position of a text. Then I save the block and exit block edit, but the blocks in my current drawing do not change?

 

If I reinsert the block, then the text has changed position.

Have you tried BATTMAN?

 

BATTMAN > select text to update > click sync

The text positions should stay the same

[StevenNoppe]

That worked!

 

I typed battman, then chose the block with the text and then I pressed the "sync" button

 

After that all the text from the other blocks jumped to the correct position!

 

thx

I missed your version. ATTSYNC is a recent addition and not available on 2000i or LT. I didn't realise that BATTMAN was available that far back either.

 

Something else must have happened along the way but I missed it. On my current version of AuotCAD ( 2008 ), text IS moved when you update a block but attributes aren't.

[StevenNoppe]

no problem Dave

 

by the way I now have Autocad 2008 LT.

I will change my profile immediatly
