morning all.
I have a block in our drawings and wanted to replace that block with another block/different name. the only difference between the two is that the new block has an additional attribute definition in it. the question is, can i replace all my tags in our drawings with this new tag with a different name and have the new attribute definition show up while still keeping the text already entered in the old block?
I have used the BLOCKREPLACE command with little success. it does rename all of my current blocks to the new block selected but does not bring in the new definition. if you explode the block it then shows all the attributes associated with the new block. also if i use the block attribute manager is only shows the original attribute definition and not the new one even though it shows the new block name. if you click on the 'sync' button in the attribute manager it then replaces the block to match the new block with all definitions but then erases all the entered text in the block
any ideas?
thanks.
