updating same block with different information

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I'm trying to update a block that has attributes, but there is multiple instances of this block in my drawing. Basically i have flow arrows that have different attributed information in them and I want to be able to keep the info in them but update certain blocks that need to be updated. I have change the same block in multiple drawings.

Im using data extraction to extract the data and then want to update certain info in the flow arrows, by using Lee Mac's updatetitleblock lisp.

Wondering if there is better way to do this or if the same block has an attribute that has unique id?

Thanks in advance.

You will need some kind of identifying element for the one block you wish to update. When you do the data extraction, be sure to export and keep the entity handle. Then you can simply use the entity handle top grab that one block and updates its attribute value.

You could update the Lee Mac routine pretty easily with that.

Good luck,
