Dear to all,

    i have Revit exported Autocad file, the same block inserted at many places, when i change one block colour it is not changing all blocks. How to do it. Enclosed cad file

How are you changing to color please? Most have manual overrides, and lots of names that are just one or two digits different, so you don't really have many that are the one block (or did you miss that by chance?).

all 2366 of them...

i went to the block editor and changed colour, the particular block only changed remaining unchanged

As a test use the copy command and select the block you want to change and copy it a couple of times. Now you should see three exact same objects. Now use block editor to edit one of the three to make a color change. After saving and closing out of the block edit command do you now see all three block colors changed?

And are you sure the "remaining" are really the same Block?  Revit can send them out so that multiple instances of what should be the same thing come into AutoCAD as individual separate Block names.

Did you get a chance to read the rest of my reply?

Or did you perhaps not understand?

Your FILE contains dozens of identical looking blocks each with a unique name. If you only changed the color of one, all the others with different names are not going to change. That's likely your real issue.

Like these, two are the same blockname, three look the same but are not named the same so AutoCAD ignores them: changing one block's color did not change all of them

as you said it is working, but in the layout not changed. i enclosed the screenshot

Pay attention to all the replies you've already received because the answer is already given several times over.

If you're more experienced with Revit, perhaps you should continue to work in Revit and not AutoCAD.
