I have aprox. 500 instances of a block defined in my drawing, part of the block has attribute text which originally was set to a layer called "TextLayer" . To allow me to bulk eddit my drawings I need to change this layer from "TextLayer" to "Line Number" - another layer I created (reason being that way too many other blocks and objects are assigned to the layer "TextLayer").
The idea is that I can disable / freeze layers and copy / modify text objects with ease ( I am NOT going to manually change 500 or so block descriptions).
My problem is now that in my drawing all blocks show as being part of my new layer, but when I freeze all other layers my blocks still disapear - CAD still treats them as being part of the original layer. When I instert a new block this problem does not occur, it is only existing blocks that have this problem, as if they have not been updated with the new layer information. Is there a way to force CAD to update all existing blocks without loosing my attributes?
I tried using "regen" , Match Properties, and other more exotic commands to no avail...
Any help or guidance is apreciated!
