Find a Block based on text and get to change it

Hi,

I have a drawing with multiple blocks which has the same name ( thats why I cannot use Qselect option)

I tried using FIND and it does find the block I need by its TEXT name(1) , however I cannot find it in the drawing - once I double click it on the search results its like zooming in to the text I searched but I cannot click on it (2) and if I close the search it goes back to latest position I was and then I cannot see this block .

Just curious, after selecting these blocks, what is the next step you are going to do with them?

MosheLellouche hi,

 

who saids you can not QSelect a multiple block references? ofcourse you can!

 

without seeing your file it's hard to say what is the problem but check this:

 

Maybe that specific attribute is on off/freeze layer? 

the block is selected because it is seen by the FIND command but the attribute is not seen and that's why you can not have the zoom

 

am i right?

 

Moshe
