Solved: 3D Polilyne Group to 2D Block

Anonymous · ‎10-27-2020

Hello,

I have an exported DWG from the DIALux (software for professional light planning).

The light points I placed in DIALux, are now represented in a 3D polyline Group in AutoCAD.

I want to know if there is a way of replacing a group for a block (maintaining the center of the light). It doesn't work with BLOCKREPLACE.

The following image is representing what I want to automatically replace:

Find attached the dwg file for your reference.

Thank you,

Hi @Anonymous

Try this lisp to replace groups with blocks.

Load the attached lisp and then select one group and right-click and select "select similar" and then move the group with a certain distance and then type in the command "REPLACEGROUPS" and then select all the groups which you have moved and then press enter and then select the block which you want to replace the group with and then press enter to complete the process🙂

Credits to the creator of the lisp.
