We want to update a bunch of blocks in some templates.
We have the new blocks in one dwg. If I insert that dwg into the template
the blocks exist do not get redefined.
Can I get AutoCAD to redefine all of those blocks without inserting each one
manually?

Open the drawing you want to change and the one that has the correct block
in it.
Make the "change" drawing current.
Go to the Design center to the "Open Drawings" Tab
click on the "blocks" in the tree under the "correct block" drawing.
find the block in the right hand window and right click on it. You should be
able it "insert" "insert and re-define" or "re-define Only"

Thanks Heather. I have used the Design Center for single blocks but I am
looking for way to do a bunch at once. The Design Center has an issue with
selecting more than one block.
