    Default Replace Selected Block(s)

    I am looking to replace a group of selected blocks with a different block, not the (global) block replacement that is currently available with express tools. Can anyone assist me? Thanks.

    you know, a metric boat load of people are uncomfortable/unwilling to run compiled code...... If I can't see what's happening under the hood so to speak, I'm not apt to load or run it.

    Here is one solution. Select the group of blocks you want to change, cut/paste them into a new drawing, then use the global block replace from Express Tools. After you have the blocks changed, cut/paste them back to the original drawing.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.

    I have a simple program on my free download site called Rinsert.lsp that will replace single or multiple selected blocks.

    http://www.engds.com/FreeDownloads/Downloads.html

    It requires a utility file which is noted (also free) and also adds other useful routines to your toolbox.
