(AUTOCAD MEP) lisp to replace "any block" with any "device"

(AUTOCAD MEP) lisp to replace "any block" (regular, dynamic) with any "device" (for MEP)

I already tried to command REPLACEBLOCK but does not work.

help, please.

I guess you can make a new block from the "device". Then do the block replacement. Explode the block after the replacement.

Are you looking for this https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad-mep/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2019/ENU/A...

It does not work with dynblocks, but a quick lisp like this should do it https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/change-specified-dynamic-blocks-to-s...

Thanks for your interesting

sadly you're suggesting does not work because AutoCAD MEP has objects called "devices"
"devices" it's like a dynamic block in a 99% but is not considered a dynamic block for AUTOCAD

...so the command REPLACEBLOCK does not work here.

I can explore the "device" and obtain the block inside the object but without their other properties

...I do not need the block, I need the "device" one with all their properties. In my case, I need lighting wiring properties.

AUTOCAD MEP it's like REVIT MEP

Sorry my post was not very clear.

Make a new Block A, the content of the block is your "device". So the "device" is inside the Block A.

This is not what I was looking for, but works.

If someone has Lisp for doing this directly, humanity will be grateful.
