well, some of the attributes of the block are invisible and/or constant

I edit by hand. 100 should take you 10 minutes or less. Once edited, wblock them for use in other drawings.

All the same edit and change? For example all 100 that say ABC now need to read XYZ?
Or something else?

FIND command: explore it. No lisp needed.
