Hi! I am just new here and also a newbie in doing lisp routines. I was wondering if there is an autolisp that could possibly delete a text value of a specific attribute text inside a block of a block. I don't want to totally delete the attribute, just the value. I already tried several examples on the internet but doesn't really get to my satisfaction and as to how I want it to be. The only available lisp routine that I found so far is just yes, deleting the value but only works if the block attribute is outside the title block or even inside the title block itself but not when the attribute block is already inside a block of the title block. I need to do this for over 80 drawings and I was hoping to not doing it in an old fashioned way of opening each drawing just to edit-in-place the title block and then deleting the value of that attribute. Can anyone help me please? that would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am looking for a .lsp that will allow me to insert a titleblock of a different size and run a command on the existing titleblock and click on the new titleblock and it will retain all the same information (even with text fields) and copy over the information into the new titleblock without having to fill out the new titleblock. Our titleblocks use mostly fields but the project name, address, drawing number and drawing name have just regular attribute text objects. This would be a huge time saver if I have to take something that was originally on a 22x34 titleblock and resize the viewport and insert a new 8-1/2x11 titleblock quickly without having to re-enter all of the information. This would be a tremendous time saver! Thank you in advance

I have a few title blocks. one for each size of paper that I can print on. I will start working on a drawing and add another page. I will start out with lets say 5 pages and then realize that I need to add another page. at first I would go into each block and change the attribute to reflect the number of pages that I have now. after awhile it got to be a bit much having to go into 15 title blocks to change the title block from saying 15 to 16. then if I added another page I would have to do it all over again. what I came up with is I would just leave that number as a number and edit the block to change that number so it would reflect on every page that the total number of pages is now 16. like I said it is working but I hate having to go into a title block to change it. I have made other corrections and then the title block that I start with is different then the one I made changes too and I can't remember which drawing file has the most current title block in it. attached is a title block sample. Is there anything you can suggest that would make this change easier. something that is connected to the total number of drawing tabs that I have in the drawing file or something along those lines?
