AutoCad :: Replace Only Selected Blocks With A Different One?
Feb 11, 2011I have 20 blocks named "george" in my dwg. Now, I would like to replace only 7 of them with the block "george2". Is there a simple way to do it just by selecting these 7 and replacing their definition without changing the other 13 "george" blocks?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD .NET :: Nested Blocks From Selected Subentity
Sep 27, 2013I'm attempting to have the user select mText from a nested block within a block and then copy the nested block to model space out of the block. I'm able to change the mText successfully, but when I attempt to get the nested block it is not in the list of GetContainers() it only contains the block in model space and the model space block. The nested block is missing in the list. I'm using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013.
Here is the code to select the mText object which works correctly.
Sub GetNestedMtext() ' Have the user select an object. Using the prompt provided. Dim ed As Editor = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Editor Dim entopts As New PromptNestedEntityOptions(Environment.NewLine & "Select a mText in block to replace: ") entopts.Message = Environment.NewLine & "Select a mText in block to replace: " Dim ent As PromptNestedEntityResult = Nothing Try ent = ed.GetNestedEntity(entopts) Catch ed.WriteMessage("You did not select a valid entity") End Try If ent.Status = PromptStatus.OK Then CreateDuplicateBlockInModelSpace(ent) End If End Sub
Here is the code that attempts to get the nested block which is missing the nested block.
Private Shared Sub CreateDuplicateBlockInModelSpace(ByVal ent As PromptNestedEntityResult) Try Dim containerObjIds As ObjectId() = ent.GetContainers() Dim blkToExtract As BlockReference = DirectCast(containerObjIds(1).GetObject(OpenMode.ForRead), BlockReference) Dim blkToPlace As BlockReference = blkToExtract.Clone() Dim doc As Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument Dim db As Database = doc.Database Using tr As Transaction = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction Dim acBlkTbl As BlockTable acBlkTbl = tr.GetObject(db.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) Dim acBlkTblRec As BlockTableRecord acBlkTblRec = tr.GetObject(acBlkTbl(BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace), OpenMode.ForWrite) acBlkTblRec.AppendEntity(blkToPlace) tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(blkToPlace, True) tr.Commit() End Using Catch ex As System.Exception End Try End Sub
Is there another way I can get the parent block object for the nested object?
AutoCAD Map 3D :: Quick Selected Blocks Don't Display But Their Properties Do
Oct 30, 2012I am trying to get back some of my work that was "lost" when a crash accured. I had 16 blocks (all the same) inserted into my map at the correct locations. I recovered the drawing but noticed that the blocks weren't displaying. I conducted a quick select for the layer which they're on; it stated 16 items were selected (but they are not displaying). While they are still "selected" I checked the properties & it stated all the correct information (quantity, block name, color, layer, scale, etc...). I made sure all layers associated with the block were not frozen. So it's acting as though they're still in the drawing, but aren't displaying...

I want this information to be added to the blocks as hidden attributes so that i can extract them by attout. The work to be done is : attout to excel, autofill an attribute (numbering) then attin.
but my problem is that i cant think of a way to number those blocks IN ORDER (ie top to bottom or left to right) unless by sorting them in excel first by their x or y coordinates
AutoCAD 2013 :: Batch Conversion Of All Or Selected Blocks To Mass Objects?
Sep 30, 2013I need to export many library elements (conveyors) which are saved in individual blocks to mass objects. I need to convert them to IGES after that.
Until now I have to open every single block and convert all of it to a mass element. This simply takes too long.
Is it possible to write a small script or program which converts all blocks or the selected blocks to mass elements?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Find And Replace Group Of Blocks That Are SELECTED
Jul 17, 2013I having real difficulty finding a lisp that will find and replace blocks. There are plenty out there and AutoCAD 2013 and lower has a Find and Replace Blocks. However, the frustrating catch is I can seem to find a routine that will allow me to replace only those blocks that I select with a selection set of my choosing. The built in function replaces all of them and will not let you exclude some. We have PID drawings that we want to replace valves on, but not all valves. We don't want to rename. We don't need to BEDIT the existing block.
1) Pick group of blocks
2) specify a new block that will replace all instances of old block
3) replace inserted block with different block. Leaving others alone.
I'm thinking this should be easy, but my search has failed. The blocks in question are not dynamic or attributed either.

obj_'s definition is：

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Place Circle On Selected Blocks Insert Point?
Mar 11, 2013You have a dwg with multiple sets of different blocks and a circle you want to place on the insert point of each set blocks.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Automatically Export Attributes From Selected Blocks To Defined Txt File
Oct 3, 2012How to create a lisp to automatically export attributes from selected blocks to defined txt file without having to everytime confirm the file name, location and if the file shall be replaced?
Meaning is that I often export attributes to txt file for further use. It is always the same file (I just overwrite it always).
The way I do it now is selecting blocks, using ATTOUT command, then going to the desktop, selecting ATT.txt file and confirming that it is to be replaced.
Is there a way to make lisp or script that will just do all it in at once?
I found on forum such a lisp as below, but it exports all ablocks on drawing and it exports to txt file which is located in same place as drawing and with same name as drawing. Tried to modify it but without success:
(defun cut-att ()
(load "attout")
(setq fna (strcat (getvar "dwgprefix")
(acet-filename-path-remove (acet-filename-ext-remove (getvar "dwgname")))
".txt"
))
(setq ss (ssget "X" '((0 . "INSERT") (66 . 1))))
(bns_attout fna ss)
)
Same question for ATTIN - I use attin and always same file name from same location - how to automate it with one command?
AutoCAD Architecture :: Copy Blocks To Another Drawing

View 3 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2013 :: Move / Copy Blocks With Attributes
Feb 10, 2013My entire office has been experiencing drawing crashes as a result of moving or copying certain blocks within a dwg. The problem seems to occur only while executing a Move or Copy command on a block with attributes, and zooming or panning while doing so. My heart sinks instantly because the block will disappear when placed, and I know I am doomed to crash.
I am usually able to pan or zoom a few times, and if I act quickly a Save will work before the drawing then crashes. We have recently switched from 2011 to Civil 3D 2013, and the problem still persists. The two culprits are our slope arrow block as well as hex call-out. Both blocks contain attributes and are frequently used through out our drawings, and this problem proves to be most frustrating when pressed for a deadline.
