ReMark Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yes. Existing layers can be renamed via the Layers dialog box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Also give it a try to the RENAME command. It is usefull if you wish to rename a lot of layers at a time. Also you can use RENAME on blocks, text and dimension stiles, saved UCS names and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymro Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 In the layer dialog, highlight the layer and press F2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSAPmapR Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 ...It is usefull if you wish to rename a lot of layers at a time... I am running AC 2005, can the RENAME command be used for renaming multiple BLOCKS at once??? I see that I can 'lasso' or select several blocks, *varies* appears in the "Old Name" text box, but it doesn't appear I can rename them. Ex. I have a file of Kitchen appliances, each appliance "BLOCK" is named by its deminsion-description 33'' Refrigerator 1 33'' Refrigerator 2 which I want to rename Refrigerator 1 33'' Refrigerator 2 33'' Can I "batch" rename many many blocks, RENAME is very nice, but very slow when you have numerous blocks you wish to rename.

lpseifert Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Try using the Laytrans command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSAPmapR Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Try using the Laytrans command. Thank you for the reply. But LAYTRANS doesn't offer any option to change BLOCK names. After several agrevating hours of research, I found a solution that requires ScriptPro. Takes a few minutes to setup and figure out, but works like a treat!!! When I have time, I may post these findings in a new thread for the benefit of others wishing to accomplish the same. Again, Thanks lpseifert Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
