Bobzy20 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hi Guys & Girls Is there a program out there that allows a user to rename blocks using a wildcard? We have hundreds of blocks with names: PORTINGS_LIGHT1, PORTINGS_LIGHT2 and so on and wanted to rename them all to one name: PORTINGS_LIGHT. Seems a simple request but can’t seem to find the answer. Thanks in advance Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberAngel Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 It may seem simple, but how do you deal with two blocks that have different definitions? When you change its name, do you use the contents of the old block or the new one? If there are differences between the blocks, you might be able to use a dynamic block to incorporate the variations. There is probably some code out there (there usually is). It would check for duplicate block definitions and consolidate them under one name.

RobDraw Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Not as simple as it seems. You could try block replace so that they are all using the same block definition. If they are identical block definitions, this should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
