Change attribute values in DWG files

[Anonymous]

What about block attributes within the dwg's?  Not the windows/ntfs file attributes - Block Attributes

e.g. when you double-click the title block, it opens a dialog called "Enhanced Attribute Editor" - This is what needs to be adjusted, along with maybe some other block attributes, and the filenames

Are there any guru's out there willing to share some LISP or any other sagacious advice??

I think maybe a self-starting one-button robotic mower, edger, trimmer. thatcher, leaf blower with optional pooper scooper.

OR even

A voice activated program that trash, change, mail, upgrade, charge, point, zoom, press, snap, work, quick, erase, write, cut, paste, save, load, check, quick, rewrite, plug, play, burn, rip, drag and drop, zip, unzip, lock, fill, call, find, view, jam, unlock, surf, scroll, pause, then click to terminate the routine.

Plus one that creates a hologram so that your boss thinks you are at your desk working.  You can pass off the sun tan the next day as exposure to graphic screen radiation.

Hi EE1337,

Changing block attributes is certainly doable, But we would need more information. What is it that you want to change on the existing attribute editor? want to TAB thru the fields? more info? less info?  What items do you want to change? where is the information coming from? - is it the user, or some outside file?

Without some clear ideas of what you actually want, nobody will be able to much...

You build a working one of these and I'd for sure buy it... 🙂

A few mapcars and applies and I be done in time for the Spring cleanup.  😕

I've been collaborating with Phil Swift and George Foreman.  It won't leak and will leave your lawn juicy on the inside.

This is what I use to change attributes in a block.

(setq pgdesc "Elevation")
  (command "._attedit"	    "_N"	     "_N"
	   "Title Block"    "PAGE_DESCRIPTION"
	   "*"		    "Page Description"
	   pgdesc
	  )
