johan Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Hello all, Im new here and learned alot from you guys. Now i have a problem that i couldnt find an answer to. I have one drawing template/ block with attributes. I want to insert my own templete/block but still use the attributes from the old one. This will be done at multiple drawings at once. I have tried the "extract Data" function but are unable to insert the information back again (multiple drawings) And the best option would be to insert the templete/block and the info without opening the drawings sepretely. If this cant be done in autocad, is there any other software available? See attatchment with 3 exmaples in one drawing. Note that the drawing templates are seperatly normaly BR Johan EXEMPEL template move.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftertouch Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Since your attribute tags are changed, i think this'll be hard with just AutoCAD... I'd write a custom LISP for this one, wich extracts all attributes from the old block and then places it in the new block. You could also do a check, so when you open the drawing, it instantly checks if a block with the old name exists, and replaces it for the new one.
