AutoCad :: Purge AEC Block Names?
Jan 24, 2012I'd like to get rid of all AEC block names in my template. I've tried BLDSYSPURGE and that didn't work. We don't currently use ACAD MEP for it's intended purpose so I just want these out of the block name list in our template for now. Is there a way to do so?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Same Block With Multiple Names
Aug 16, 2013I have several architects who use VectorWorks that then export their electrical to me in a dwg format. I then use a program that makes intelligent devices from their blocks. The problem is that if there are 300 receptacles that are exactly the same, there is be 300 different block names for then such as group_205-1. In the past I just individually insert my intelligent block over each one of their blocks. But Now I am wondering if there is a way to select all the blocks and give them the same name and not have them all disappear because autocad sees them as duplicates.
I tried block replace, but it is one at a time and it gets rid of the old block. I then downloaded a trial of mblockreplace.vlx. However, it seems to also make all the blocks disappear. How to give the blocks the same name in a multi-select fashion without them all disappearing afterwards?
AutoCAD 2010 :: Changing Block Names?
Mar 23, 2011Is it possible to edit a block name? The alternate solution is to create a new block (door) to accurate describe sizing/ type and copy to and delete old blocks w/ innacurate names. Because of the high number of doors, the alternate solution would take much longer.

Sep 18, 2012I am renaming a bunch of blocks that had non-descriptive code names with new descriptive names for our power substation division. Example: 2002 -> Strain Clamp U Bolt.
I am debating whether I should put spaces in the new names or use the under-bar '_' for spaces. If I use spaces the names will look nicer and may word wrap better when I put these blocks into a tool palette. But I'm paranoid about using spaces because of the nagging feeling it might be a problem down the road, say with parsing in lisp code or something.

Mar 10, 2012my job is to make an editor for blocks in C#. There should be a WPF-window were the user can see a list of blocks.

I know how i can populate a list of block names, but I fail at finding an opportunity to edit these attributes.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Linking File Names Into Title Block But Only Using Some Of The Name?
Aug 18, 2011We are using a title block and it has an attribute field that links to the file name. Now one of our projects is adding the revision to the CAD file name, but it messes up our drawing sheets.
i.e. It was fine when the CAD file name was 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456.dwg and this would display the complete 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456 in the drawing title.
Now we need to do this, the CAD file name, 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456-001002-A1.dwg and we still need to just show 111-A222-ZZ-X-123456 in the title block, striping away the 001002-A1.

AutoCad 2D :: How To Create Attribute - Drawing Floor Plan With Different Room Names
Jan 2, 2012I know how to create a block and all that is fine, but looking for detailed simple lesson on how to create a Attribute. ( I guess thats what they are called). For instance, drawing a floor plan with different room names and etc, I know there is a way to make a circle or polygon, or square and then when it is inserted in the drawing, you just have to type the new name of the room, or the window symbol, or door number and etc.
By the way, I am using a student version of AutoCAD 2010. Also, if you could also add the keyboard shortcut alias's too would be a great deal.

AutoCad :: How To Insert Or Bind Drawing To Special Set Of Drawings And Then Change Names
Nov 28, 2011I have a full set of water drawing that need to be submitted to the City’s Water Department. We have to include DWF and DWG drawings on a CDRom, but that is easy. The issue is that there is a stand-alone submittal set. Now, this is not hard to do with Sheet Set Manager; that is not the problem. The problem is that the Water Department has a special set of layers that they want any Civil to use for submittal. These layers are of course different from the NCS we are using now and in our CD submittal set.
Is there a better way than to insert or bind the drawings to a special set of drawings and then change the names? I would most likely use either the “rename” command or the “layer translator” function in Civil 3D 2012. However, if I ever had a revision that affects the base drawing and the CD set; I would have to re do all this binging/inserting and renaming over as well.

AutoCad :: Converting Layer Names To Point Names Or Comments?
Nov 28, 2011I'm in the process of creating 3D points (as an overlay) on some laser scanned data (using RiScan, it's just 3d dimensional data, with a northing, easting and RL) and unfortunately the only export option is to export to .dxf... Which is fine but when I export, the information has the point ID as the layer name.
I am aiming at getting this data into another program to analyse and it needs the point ID or name to be my annotation, as opposed to the layer.
So what I need is a way of converting the names of each individual points layer, to the point ID.
AutoCad :: Removing Xref From Block Without Removing It From Drawing Block?
Dec 22, 2011Drawing A has a grid system Xref-ed into it. It also has a block reference in it, repeated in various places throughout the drawing.
I Xref-ed the grid into the block to check something, and now I can't get it out. This means that the grid now repeats all over Drawing A as well and is generally being a nuisance.
If I try to unload the Xref within the block, it unloads it in Drawing A too. If I try to detach it from the block, it returns this message: Xref [Xref name] has multiple references. Not detached. If I try to detach the Xred from Drawing A, it returns the same message.
How do I unload the same Xref that occurs in a block in a drawing, and in the drawing itself, independently of each other?
Lightroom :: Correcting Imported File Names (way To Bulk Rename Back To Original File Names)
Dec 18, 2011I accidentally included a file rename when I just imported a batch of several hundred pictures. I violated a rule that I teach my own Lightroom students, and that is to look carefully at the import panel choices before proceeding.
How can I correct this so that the files are named as they originally were? I know how to easily fix the filenames in Windows (using a tool called BulkRename, for example), but then I'd have to "find" each image one-by-one and correctly point to the renamed version. I tried selecting all the images and then using F2 to rename, but none of the templates allow deleting a portion of the filename.
P.S. Here is an example of what I mean:
ON CARD:
IMG_0001.NEF
...
IMG_0300.NEF
WHAT I RENAMED TO ACCIDENTALLY:
IMG_0001 {shot by John Doe}.NEF
...
IMG_0300 {shot by John Doe}.NEF

I am altering a drawing so its easier for me to draw in a different color to see what i've done and what was already there.

After I explode them, all kinds of new entities appear making the problem worse. There has to be a better way. I've tried bursting, but - same effect. On another note, my office is trying to move us to Revit, which appears to have a ridiculously steep learning curve.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Redefining Block Within Drawing?
Nov 30, 2011I'm using blocks inserted into drawings to provide the background for the drawing which I'm working on. e.g an architects building layout inserted as a block and then used as the background in an electrical layout drawing.
This drawing being used for the background has been edited to remove various details and layers and give a cleaner background to my drawings, and is saved as its own dwg file. It is then insert as a block into numerous drawings for use as the background.
My question is - is there a way the block can be redefined once inserted into a drawing, without having to re-inserting it via the normal insert > block route, which would prompt the 'redefine block' option. I want to do this so that I could make further changes to the dwg file used as the background (such as the architects building layout), and quickly update drawings with this inserted as a block.
I'm currently working in autocad 2011.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Dynamic Block In Drawing
May 10, 2013dynamic block in a drawing - when i make a change in the block editor, it doesn`t apply in the model space although i save all the changes. There is also another dynamic block and this time everything is working properly - all the saved changes appear in the model space. The only difference between the two blocks is that the first one has attributes. I think attributes should not be the reason for not applying changes, but i just don't know.
