Hello everyone, I have a batch file and an autolisp file ready to automate mass drawing changes.
I am having problems with the scripting though..
My plan is to use -attedit to edit the value of a predefined tag in a predefined block.
The issue I'm having though is that my command line errors with the following message.
"0 attributes selected.*Invalid*"
This is odd because I have selected, and gone through the process of changing values in the selected tags.
I havn't got into the actual script writing yet, I have been trying to troubleshoot this just using the command line.
No point in jumping to script if the regular command doesnt work -_-
My process:
open drawing, clear command line.
press F2
command: -attedit
command: Y
command: EPLFRAME ;(This is the name of my block)
command: TITLE ;(This is the name of the tag within the block)
Command: GenV ;(New Value for that tag)
Error: 0 attributes selected.*Invalid*
Am I using the wrong command for this?
The task is to change a tag value in a block
Your input is much appreciated.

I am always so quick to jump on these forums.
I found the solution after playing around with some settings.
If anyone googles this:
Command: -attedit
Edit attributes one at a time? [Yes/No] <Y>: n
Performing global editing of attribute values.
Edit only attributes visible on screen? [Yes/No] <Y>: n
Drawing must be regenerated afterwards.
Enter block name specification <*>: EPLFRAME
Enter attribute tag specification <*>: TITLE
Enter attribute value specification <*>:
1 attributes selected.
Enter string to change: KITTING WORK STATION
Enter new string: GenV KWS
Yay!
