Replacing a common text in multiple drawings.

[samayr]

Does anyone know of any Lisp Routine or Program that allows me to change a common text in a whole bunch of drawings at once? (More than 300 drawings in the same directory.)

Toolpac contains a find & replace routine that will operate on any
number of drawings.

Hi, search for "batchlisp" in this forum.

Hi,

The attached a routine will allow you to search and replace text in all the
drawings from a choosen folder, through Object DBX, without opening them in
editor. It's cleaner and faster. What you have to do is to look in the
attached file, at the end and try to adapt it to your needs.

There are two commands named REPLACETXTSTR1 and REPLACETXTSTR2 to show you
how to use the function. The explications for the arguments and about how to
implement the functions are there. You have to replace the path to your
folder, the text to search for and the replacement text. If you the flag
CASE_SENSITIVE is T, as you see it in the REPLACETXTSTR1 command, the
function will search for the exact match. If it is nil, it will search for
upper or lower caps, and replace all the occurences of the string to search
for.

The function checks all layouts of the drawings in the indicated folder. If
you have problems, get back to me, I will try to help you when I have time.

Hope this helps

Constantin

Can you please post the error message or explain why it's not working or
what AutoCAD says in return to your command ? It's hard d for me to guess
why and for what reason this happens...

Hi constantin,
It is working fine.Thank you very much.
But I want to ask you if it is more than one text to replace what I have to do.

Hi,

Basically it should be processed in a loop. I will think about it and try to
modify the code. Right now I am busy with my own problems, but come back
later.

Hi samayr,

This will somehow complicate the things. Specially if there are different
text values for each drawing. Can you tell me if the text items to be
replaced are the same for all your drawings or they will vary from a drawing
to another ?
