Copy whole attributes from block to another macro/lisp?

[Anonymous]

Is there any better way of copying the whole attributes from block to another?

Instead of doing this: Open the old block in block editor

copy the attributes

paste the attributes in to the new block.

I do not need the attribute values, I need the whole attributes. Didn't found any solution for this. Using LT.

In LT there is no easy way, HOWEVER

Why don't you delete all the geometry in the block which has got your attributes in (keep the attributes obviously) and then paste all the geometry from your other block into this block.

eg

Block A has 5 lines and 6 attributes

Block B has 7 lines.

Delete the 5 lines from Block A and then copy the 7 lines from Block B into Block A

Would there be a solution in the full version?

I allready have a drawing from a customer that has the blocks without attributes positioned.

I wouldn't know. I don't have full AutoCAD. Someone else who does have full might know

Hi,

Try this lisp(see attachment). It copies attribute tags(not values) from one block to another. Using this you can copy the attribute tag from the source block to the destination block, but the destination block should not contain any attributes similar to the source block if it contains then it would duplicate the attributes.

Hello @Anonymous !

Did the lisp posted by @vinodkl helped you to find the answer?

Don't hesitate to accept it as a solution, or, update the info about your question. It will be helpful for everyone in this discussion. 😀

Wow, does there even exist lisps made by any other than Leemac. 

This worked for the most part. I was hoping that it would also copy the attribute values to the block.
