ORgrown Posted December 13, 2012 Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) using AutoCAD 2009 (vanilla) I got too smart for myself today in bringing an old drawing up to current standards... Everyone seems to want their block attributes to be zero - I have blocks where the attributes are best when they match the rotations of each blocks. I have an old drawing that was rotated (as it should be) at approx 2deg. I used a lisp routine to global edit all the blocks that needed to be at zero. BUT for some reason (and after hundreds of blocks were corrected), I noticed I now have two blocks that should NOT have been in the set have had their attributes rotated to zero....and the attributes should be at the same rotation as their block's rotation. Because those two blocks have a fixed tic mark, I can click on the mark to see what the block rotation is, then rotate its attribute to that rotation, but I have hundreds of blocks! One-at-a-time sucks.... Any chance there is a GLOBAL way to edit an attribute rotation to match its own block's rotation? Many thanks! Edited December 13, 2012 by ORgrown add autocad version Quote
irneb Posted December 14, 2012 Posted December 14, 2012 The AttSync command perhaps? If the blocks are to be selected, Cut the blocks to be changed and paste them into a new blank dwg, AttSync on each block type, then copy-paste them back. Quote
ORgrown Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 YES!! I had totally forgotten about AttSync... Thanks, irneb, you are my hero! Quote
