Edit text attributes nested in multiple blocks

[hosannabizarre]

I have a .dwg file which contains numerous blocks (70 or so) and they all have unique names.

 

All these blocks have nested text.

 

I want to edit the attributes of all the text, in all these blocks, such that they assume the same text style, text layer and colour.

 

Obviously, with so many blocks, I want to avoid clicking on the text and editing the attributes individually.

 

I tried a lisp file called ATcolour.lisp, but even this is very time consuming.

 

Is there a strategy that anyone knows about for achieving this result - editing text attributes, nexted in various blocks, all at once?

 

I am offering a three hour foot massage to anyone who knows the way on this one!!!

i will second that, so that's a 6 hour foot massage!!

 

I have the BATTMAN command, but is does not seen to change all the block attribute text style, grrrrrr 10 down 150 to go

Unfortunately the only way I can think of doing this one is to write a Lisp as you can go through each individual block and change the things you want very quickly. When I mean quick the macro will take a while but once complete it will be very quick.

 

Maybe put this post into the LISP section - someone may have something close already written

Thank you for your help, i will give it a go, and see how my LISP works out, im sure it will be very handy for others

If the attributes are already on text layers and you want them all on the same one you can use Layer Merge. If the the attributes color is set to by layer, then that's two down. It is also possible to merge text styles with lisp. The one I have is by Lee Mac, I believe, and is available on this website or his. If you're circumstances are different there may be other solutions.
