Getting attribute's value and using it in an new block

[Ukemi72]

Hello,

i'm trying to create a function for changing of a block with attributes.
The steps / flowchart i'm using is:

1. Make a filter which filters on a specific block
2. Get the values of all the attributes of the filterd block.
3. Save the values.
4. Delete the filterd block.
5. Purge the drawing
6. creating the new block
7. fill the attributes with the values from point 2

This is a part of the flowchart. The numbers 1-3-4-5-6 i have already made, but i am stuck on number 2 and 7.

Does someone know how i can create this?

You'll need to iterate your BlockReference Object's AttributeCollection Property Object, opening each ObjectId as AttributeReference ForRead, using your Transaction, subsequently opening each ObjectId in your destination BlockReference Object's AttributeCollection Property Object as AttributeReference ForWrite, populating the corresponding TextString Property accordingly.

Here's an article Kean wrote on the topic that may be helpful:
