Copying attribute text to another block

[joe_kohli]

I have to change out hundreds of flowtags that need to be upgraded to a newer style block. I have built (by the help of some amazing people on this forum) the new dynamic flowtag named "2LINETAG_DYN" (top picture). Is there a way that I can extract and/or copy the attributed text (in yellow) from the old block "2RTAG" (bottom picture) to the newly built dynamic block "2LINETAG_DYN"? I literally have to open each new block and compare it to the old block and begin typing in the information from the old block to the new block. This is EXTREMELY time consuming. I need something like a "REPLACEBLOCK and also copy over text to new block" command. To replace the block it works just fine, but it does not transfer the text. It rather, resets the block to a "new" condition. Am I dreaming or can this be done easily? I attached the block for reference

BREPLACE can do that.

Hello @joe_kohli 

This would have been easy if the "2RTAG" block was constructed with different tag names. Since the tags are same for both the attribute "." its showing the duplicate attribute in "RED" color while editing. So use the command "BATTMAN" and change the attribute tag of "2RTAG" from "." to 1 & 2 to match the tags of "2LINETAG_DYN" block. Next you can use the attached lisp to transfer the attribute value from "2RTAG" to "2LINETAG_DYN" block.

To load the lisp, download the .lsp file and drag & drop into AutoCAD. Next type in the command "MTB" to run the lisp and select source and destination block to transfer the attribute value.

Excellent!! Thank you very much. I have tried it on a few different block and it works flawlessly (that is, as long as the tag numbers match).

Hello @joe_kohli 

Thank you. Yes, the lisp looks for similar tag and transfers the attribute values.
