Old solutions, new problems (GATTE2)

Good afternoon dudes and dudettes,

 

I am wrestling with an issue of renumbering block attribute.

Original post with my message at the end may be found here:
Solved: Gatte2 in dyinamic blocs - Autodesk Community - AutoCAD

 

My description of the problem:

-I would like to autonumber block attribute ''ZONE''.

-I am using various blocks (different shapes and sizes) and they all have ''ZONE'' attribute in them.

-So far I have tested a number of lisps, including Lee Mac's solutions.

 

Why nothing worked so far?

-Seems like all the lisps work only on one kind of block at the time so when I batch select different blocks it only works on one kind and ignores the rest.

-I have tested this GATTE2 and it does all of them at once only it doesn't sequence them

-this leads me to believe that perhaps I was working on normal and dynamic blocks without knowing it and this is what caused other lisps to fail.

 

So here is my question: 

 

Can we adapt above GATTE2 to not only override an attributes but also do so in a sequence?

Ideally after I plan and place my blocks (other lisps usually sequence while placing blocks one at the time and I work on big floor plans so it is obviously better to have ability to renumber blocks once plans are approved)

 

Many thanks to anyone willing to take a swing at this oldie but goodie and best regards to all of you who contributed to this forum so far.

Have you tried ALTEXT?

Given 2 blocks all have same attribute named "ZONE".

You can search attribute tag name with wildcard pattern in ALTEXT. 

In your case, just input 'ZONE' when it prompts to search attribute tag name.
