Change text layer in multiple dynamic blocks at the same time

tecnique — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 10:57:44 GMT

Hello,

I have received a drawing with many dynamic blocks, I need to change the text layer of the dynamic attribute and I can't do it one by one, is there any command to do this change?

Thanks in advance

Have you tried to Merge Layers?

Else, Post a few examples - dwg - to take a look.

Hello BeekeeCZ,

Thanks for your answer.

I have thought about that, but my problem is that I have a dynamic block with 2 texts as attributes, each text must go to a different layer, and with the "merge" solution the two texts will go to the same layer.
I would need a solution where I can select all the similar dynamic blocks and edit them at the same time.

See below

Thanks and regards

Seems to me that all you need to edit the block definition and then use ATTSYNC to update all references.

Do these dynblocks only have these same identical two attributes, each defined uniquely and consistently, each on the same exact (2) odd layers so that programmatically each can be quickly moved to two other layers already in your file?

Or is it all more haphazard in nature in which case automating your wishlist is going to be as challenging as you finding doing it manually will be.
