How to adress multiple blocks at once?

[Anonymous]

HI there everyone!

I am new to AutoCAD and I am designing a system for fun. Now my problem is there are a lot of blocks with attributes which are changed via Enhanced Attribute Editor. But addressing them all one by one takes a lot of time.

I was wondering if there is a way to address them in order from one to lets say 50 at once, and not one by one (by hand)... is there a function that might do it? 

Thanks in advance!

There are probably several routines over in the >Customization Forum< that can do that.  Put some terms in the Search window related to what you want to do.  Some may want you to pick on Attributes in Blocks one at a time and will set incrementing numbers to them as you go, some may determine the numbering order by some criteria [drawn order? position?], etc.

Hi,

Try this lisp: http://www.lee-mac.com/numinc.html

Your need is much too vaguely stated.  If you're just changing the contents to fix spelling areas, try "FIND".  If you have many block references with the same definition, change the block and use ATTSYNC. What do you actually want to change?

If you are trying to change multiple blocks so that their attributes contain the same values, you can do so by selecting all the blocks you want to change, and then changing the attribute value in Properties, provided the attributes are not multiline.  If you want to select all the insertions of a dynamic block of a particular name, then you can use QSELECT.
