Refedit for block editing?

[the6thsens]

Hi Guys,

 

I have a really poor kit on which my acad 2007 is loaded onto. Hence i am trying to practise the best commands to save time spent watch the frozen screen. The most frequent command that i use is the refedit to edit block definitions in the drawing. I would like ask if this is the fastest and less memory consuming method to edit a block?

 

Hope to get some advice from fellow cadmen!

 

Cheers

The best way to edit blocks is through the block editor. The REFEDIT command works but you don't have every tool available to you for editing blocks as you would through the block editor. Try BEDIT and see if you get better performance.

Hey Clavin cheers for your reply ma8.

 

Well i need to edit blocks most of the time with the background drawing visible as my detailing is always a contextual one. but bedit doesnt show the background drawing?

I use BEDIT if I am modifying an attribute or have dynamic properties and use REFEDIT if I am moving geometry around.

Then REFEDIT will be the only choice for your situation.
