MULTIPLE BLOCK VISIBILITY HYPERLINKS

Hello All,

 

I am in the process of migrating our CAD library to a different location on our server. I have one big problem however. Some of our blocks have hyperlinks attached to them. The most common scenario is this bath tub block in the attached images. It is a block with multiple visibilities. Each visibility is a different bath tub. Each of these visibilities has a hyperlink attached to it that will pull up the spec sheet for the tub in that visibility.

 

Here's the problem. If i change the location of those PDF spec sheet files i will need to update all of the hyperlinks for the new location. We're talking about probably a dozen different blocks with hundreds of different visibilities that will all need updated. 

 

Does anyone have any ideas on a way to streamline this process or at the least make it slightly less painful than updating every single visibility hyperlink manually? Currently running AutoCAD 2024. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

If the path for the links are the same, you can do a find and replace. If the blocks are in different drawings, write a scrip to open each block file and run find and replace. It will still open the Find and Replace dialog box but the script will semi automate the process.
