    <title>tema FIND only returning one instance out of many blocks with the same text en AutoCAD Forum</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;I'm running into a strange issue where the FIND command, given some text, will only find that text in&amp;nbsp;&lt;EM&gt;one&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;placed instance of a block, though I have multiple blocks of that same kind in the drawing. In any case, it seems to be the oldest instance. Changing criteria for FIND fails to change results. Drawing file attached.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Example: I have a block "CardReader" with the text "CD" in a rectangle. If I use FIND for "CD" it only returns one block, the oldest one. If I delete and insert a new instance of that block, FIND then returns, again, the next-oldest instance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Annotation 2019-11-19 105316.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/699523i2E57A668A316C74D/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="Annotation 2019-11-19 105316.png" alt="Annotation 2019-11-19 105316.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Annotation 2019-11-19 105235.png" style="width: 160px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/699524i60B7CEABF4DEE196/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="Annotation 2019-11-19 105235.png" alt="Annotation 2019-11-19 105235.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Product Version Q.103.0.0 AutoCAD 20.20.1&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Possible Bug? So far as I can tell, this is just with text in blocks so far. Text outside blocks is still found correctly.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;the issue is that your letters "CD" are only find once as they are only defined within the block-definition, it's not an attribute and so counted with the number of blocks inserted already.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The display with the result is irritating indeed as it shows "Modelspace"&amp;nbsp; as location, it should show "Block-Definition" as location.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you want to count these types of blocks you can use&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#333399"&gt;_QSELECT&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; and search for that blockname&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color="#333399"&gt;_DATAEXTRACTION&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; to create a list selected by blockname&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;or you change the block so "CD" is not a text inside the block, but it's an attribute filled value, then find will show up all appearances if the inserted block with that attribute.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is the list you get when you use attributes inside the block instead of a text:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="20191119_191340_0001.png" style="width: 626px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/699538i3C4E93821BABE2C5/image-dimensions/626x326?v=v2" width="626" height="326" role="button" title="20191119_191340_0001.png" alt="20191119_191340_0001.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thank you for clarifying! That is indeed irritating, I wonder if AutoDesk would consider adding another text type to the FIND command, "Text in Blocks" or something.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;BLOCK is the best "Object type' you can display, because in your 12 BLOCK&lt;STRONG&gt;REFERENCE&lt;/STRONG&gt;s&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;are exactly 0 (ZERO) hits ! not one and not 12, NOTHING!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The only place where one TEXT or MTEXT is (which machts your SEARCH string) is inside the BlockDEFINITION.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;so you see 12 times the only ONE (M)TEXT object, which is stored inside the Block&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;and it isn't part of you Blockreferences.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
