Matching between Non dynamic block to dynamic block

[yu85.info]

Hi, I have a non dynamic block (DWG attached - "NOT-DY") and a dynamic block (DWG attached - "DY")

They have the same attributes and same name. Is there a way to copy the non dynamic block to the drawing of the dynamic block and make them behave the same?

For some reason, I don't know why, copy-paste does not seem to work.

Thanks very much in advance.

You can use the Insert command to accomplish this.  The block tab will open, select the Libraries tab and set the library location to be the Not_DY drawing.  After a few seconds it will display the blocks in that drawing.  Select the block and choose Redefine Only from the right click menu.  This will rewrite the block definition in your current drawing.

I appreciate your help sir. I have followed your instruction carefully. But for some reason instead of converting it to dynamic block it changed the dynamic block to static block.

Any clue why?

My apologies, I read the question completely backwards.

Copy the block(s) from the Non_DY drawing and paste them into the DY drawing.  Type ATTSYNC, enter, then select one of the blocks, then answer Yes.   This will sync the attribute settings of the newly pasted blocks with the current block definition.
