Hi, I would like to ask for solution, since I'm very new to autocad macros
I have drawings set from other party that i have to revise, unfortunately they don't use xref and only using blocks,
and they split their drawings to multiple files, so i have to use adcenter to redefine block one by one in each drawings
I search the forum and found solution for macros as below:
-INSERT
title=
Y
(COMMAND \e "RESUME")
but unfortunately macro above only works for drawing name that does not contain space
if, let say the drawing name is title 01, it would not work
i try to use "title 01" between the filename:
-INSERT
"title 01"=
Y
(COMMAND \e "RESUME")
it will say:
Command: -INSERT
Enter block name or [?]: "TITLE 01"=
Warning: If you are trying to insert the file: "TITLE 01"
it must be inserted using the <block>=<filename> syntax.
Command: Y
Unknown command "Y". Press F1 for help.
Is there a solution for my problem above? would very much appreciated for the help ![]()
thank you

Hi,
please do not start multiple threads with the same question (just added the space in filename issue).
You have already a thread and active discussion >>>there<<<, please continue in that thread.

I am running 2020 with arch toolsets and found that when I used the quotes for the long file name it worked but did not work for a "block name". It reads back the block as test 1" for why I have now clue. I personally don't like to use file names or blocks or pretty much anything with spaces within Autocad. That said If you rename the block then the a script will work. You should also rename the base.dwg naming if possible.
You could make two scripts. one to rename and then another to do the block update.
;first script renames the block
-RENAME
B
"cir 1"
cir-1
;next script
-insert
;block name=dwg file location and namecir-1=c:\plot\cir-1.dwg
0,0
1
1
ERASE
LAST

In Scripts, dealing with the strings with spaces will be in this format in order to continue.
(command "insert" "a3(tags)=C:\\Users\\dmmn0800\\Documents\\a3(tags).dwg" "0,0" "1" "1" "0")
in this situation, i replace the block named "A3(tags)" with a new one. Even the file name of the new block has space, (e.g A3 Tags.dwg) the script can read it because it was written in autolisp format.

technically this works, although need to workaround a bit, but still it get the job done
I just rename the block name to remove the space, and then just use the first script to batch redefine
thanks for all the help
