autolisp routine to move multiple types of blocks based off of block attribute

[thrullman]

I am sure this has probably been done but I am new to CAD. I am working with MEP2014. I need a lisp routine to be able to search multiple types of blocks based off an attribute value (i.e. a device address) that each block has associated to it. All the blocks are at 0,0 origin and I need to select a block from that attribute and move it to 1,0 then next one to 2,0 etc etc etc so they create a line in the order I need them in. Any help would be appreciative. Thanks

I have the exact same issue. Did you ever figure it out?

So you have lots of blocks with say a attribute tag say "ID" in each block is 1 2 3 etc So you type 1 then 2 then 3 and it draws 3 blocks connected with a line.

It can be done in a few ways. Read the block table for matching block names CIRC* then make a list of ((circ1 1)(circ2 2) etc then its a case of looking through this list for a match 2=2 so insert circ2.

Need a lot more from you like a dwg with the blocks and the attribute id to look at. The input would be simple type 1 2 5 3 then enter to finish.
