Adding an element to multiple CAD files' layout at once

[khalidaljabi]

Hello everyone,

I'll try my best to explain my intention and I hope you forgive my poor English.

The case I’m working on is that I have a project with over 100 drawings, each of the drawings has a different name and one layout for each.

If the client decided to add some elements in the layout, let's a new logo, I'll be needing to apply the change to all of the other drawings manually. That means, i'll open each of the files, paste the added elements, save and close. This will be a very tedious process and time consuming.

What I was hoping to find here is a LISP that simply does the following:

• I'll open one of these DWG files, add the new elements, and highlight the changes I've made to the layout. 
• Then It will allow me to paste the data to the other files' layouts (the lisp should open each drawing and switch to layout and paste the data with respect to 0,0, save then close) and keep in mind that each drawing has one layout.

Script Pro is what you need.

Go to Youtube and look for Insert a block into multiple drawings.

maybe this too will help:

For future reference, if you make a title block with just the elements that are common to every sheet and XREF it into each layout, you can then make changes to one file and have them applied to every sheet. No code needed with proper planning.
