Enhanced Attribute Editor (Batch Edit)

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Mar 2020 14:43:11 GMT

Good Day,

I am using Autocad Plant 3D and would like to change details in the title block of each drawing in the project. I have used the Enhanced Attribute Editor to insert the necessary information, however, if I want to change or update information in my title block, it requires me to open each drawing and manually update the data. I would like to know if there is a way to change all the drawing's data simultaneously as a batch, rather than individually. I would preferably like to insert the data once and have it update on all drawings. I am however limited to using the Enhanced Attribute Editor and would like to know if my need could be met without changing from using Enhanced Attribute Editor as standard.

Please see attachment for further clarity.

Hi,

Try using the command GATTE(Global ATTribute Editor) to update the title block globally.

Try our JTB BatchAttEdit app.

This seems like a handy tool however it seems to update all attributes on a single drawing rather than all the attributes of the same type over all the drawings.

Did you make the attribute from a Plant3D property? If not then you can make it one and it'll update if you change the Project property. You will need to open each file but it'll update when jt opens.
