Does anyone know why the BlockReplace.lsp mentioned above would not load in Civil3d 2015.
I used it wonderfully in Map3d 2018, but my new job uses Civil3D 2015. When I try to load the lisp using appload, as I Did before, it errors saying the Lisp could not be loaded.
For reference, this is the code, in case its something in there...
;; BlockReplace.lsp
;; Two commands: BRS = Block Replace: Selected; BRA = Block Replace: All
;; Both commands:
;; 1) Ask User for Block name to use to replace other Blocks with.
;; 2) Ask again for Block name if it is neither defined in current drawing nor
;; a drawing in a Support File Search Path.
;; 3) Remember that Block name [separately for each], and offer as default on
;; subsequent use. If no default yet in current command, offer default from
;; other command if present; if not, regular Insert's default if present.
;; 4) Retain layer, insertion point, scales, rotation, extrusion direction, any
;; overrides, etc. of all replaced Block insertions.
;; 5) Also replace any Minsert objects among selection in BRS or of correct
;; Block name in BRA.
;; See further details at head of each command definition.
