Dynamic block replace Dynamic block

[mbrandt5]

Does anyone have a lisp that lets your replace a dynamic block with another dynamic block...

I no the issue is the anonymous names but I'm not sure of a work around.

The effectivename property of the existing block vla-object

(vl-load-com)
(setq objSelection (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nSelect Block: "))))
(setq strEffectivename (vla-get-effectivename objSelection))
(setq lstInsertionPoint (vlax-get objSelection "insertionpoint"))
(setq sngXScaleFactor  (vla-get-xscalefactor objSelection))
(setq sngRotation       (vla-get-rotation objSelection))

Do you want to transfer the dynamic block properties to the new block?

Sorry, forgot to update my post...seeing as I'm not looking to retain any properties a simple BLOCKRESET, then followed by a BLOCKREPLACE does the trick.
