Re-associating Block attribute fields with selected block

[patrick_johannes96EREGF]

Hi All,

I'm looking to see if a lisp routine that allows you to select a block you want to update the attributes of and then select the source block for it to read the information from.

I have currently been working on a block that contains information for a manhole (Block 1),

and then another block which reads the attributes in the block 1 and updates the block in the table (Block 2).

At the moment when i copy both Block 1 & 2 at the same time and update the information in block 1 the information in block 2 will update. The issue comes when you copy block 1 independently of block 2 and they are no longer linked.

is a lisp the right way to fix this issue or is there another method to link the information between the two blocks?

I have attached the dwg with the blocks in, the  blocks at the bottom are not linked.

Thanks in advance!

Agree that this method of maintaining a pair of blocks is very cumbersome.

Personally, I would rather create a routine that selects a group of blocks 1, and creates a table 2.

The question is probably up to you as to how much of a benefit it is to have that linked by field. Think about what types of editing you do, how often, whether there is some benefit. From my point of view, I would simply delete the original table and create a new one within 5 seconds.
