    Default Swapping title blocks/sheet border while keeping information

    Hi,

    Having a little trouble with replacing a company logo in a drawing. I've been given one template to work from and done a heap of work before realising that I'd hadn't updated the company logo to my own. The problem now is going through and manually changing each drawing I've completed. Rather than this I'm looking for an automated solution.

    I've attached the 2 drawings to show what I mean. GT.dwg is the new border I need to use and OLD_BORDER.dwg is the old border.

    I would be looking to simply replace the existing border with new border. The big problem is copying the information from the old title block into the new title block and only replacing the PEA logo with the Globetech logo. Attributes in the two borders are the same and the names of the two borders are the same.

    Has anyone got any suggestions? I'm far from handy code but trying to learn.


    Thanks in advance

    Dan

    Rename the oldblockname to the newblockname

    Use the command line insert command
    -Insert
    newblockname=
    ...

    Notice the equals sign to update the block definition

    Use attsync to update the attributes
