How to replace a block, while keeping the attributes

Anonymous — Fri, 14 Sep 2018 10:22:41 GMT

I have a block "X" with 20 different text attributes. The block name is "ABC".

I want to replace it with a block "Y" with the same 20 different text attributes. The block name is "123".

The only difference from block X and Y is the font used, the layout and name of attributes is the same. Is there a way to replace the block, while keeping the text in the attributes in AutoCAD LT?

I dont know why you have two times the same block (except the font), but you are the boss.

Rename ABC to 123 and redefine 123 with your external Block "123",
for non-constant attributes you have to use ATTSYNC after redefining (by toolpalette, Designcenter or command Insert)

Thanks, that worked. The project found out that they wanted a different font on the titleblock on the drawings. Therefore I have 2 blocks with just the font that is different.
