First off KUDOS to Tharwat for this brilliant LISP. Can someone edit so its doesnt prompt user for Suffix.. I want the suffix to be -NEW all the time. Also for the block selection I would just like for the lisp to select all everytime. Will be running this on a folder of specific individual blocks. I did in fact try, I just havent succeeded yet thanks.

 

(defun c:RenBlks (/ Blocks *error* cm r ss int sn sfx kw bks nam)
 (vl-load-com)
;;;         Tharwat 31. Oct. 2012             ;;;
;;;   Rename selected or All Blocks as User's inputs    ;;;
 (or acdoc (setq acdoc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))))
 (setq Blocks (vla-get-blocks acdoc))
 (setq cm (getvar 'cmdecho))
 (defun *error* (x)
   (if cm
     (setvar 'cmdecho cm)
   )
   (vla-EndUndoMark acdoc)
   (princ "\n")
   (princ "\n *Cancel*:")
 )
 (if (and (not (eq (setq sfx (getstring t "\n Specify Suffix :")) ""))
          (setq r (snvalid sfx))
          (progn (initget "Selected All")
                 (setq kw (cond ((getkword "\n Rename [selected . All] Blocks < Selected > :"))
                                ("Selected")
                          )
                 )
          )
     )
   (if (eq kw "All")
     (progn (vla-StartUndoMark acdoc)
            (vlax-for x Blocks (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-put-name (list x (strcat (vla-get-name x) sfx))))
            (vla-EndUndoMark acdoc)
     )
     (if (setq ss (ssget "_:L" '((0 . "INSERT"))))
       (progn (vla-StartUndoMark acdoc)
              (setvar 'cmdecho 0)
              (repeat (setq int (sslength ss))
                (setq sn (ssname ss (setq int (1- int))))
                (setq nam (cdr (assoc 2 (entget sn))))

Hi,

 

Thank you for the nice words and for using one of my a bit old programs.

 

Is this what you are after?

 

(defun c:renblks  (/ acdoc)
 (setq acdoc (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
 (vla-endundomark acdoc)
 (vla-startundomark acdoc)
 (vlax-for x  (vla-get-blocks acdoc)
   (if (and (= (vla-get-islayout x) :vlax-false)
            (= (vla-get-Isxref x) :vlax-false)
            (not (wcmatch (vla-get-name x) "*-NEW"))
            )
     (vl-catch-all-apply
       'vla-put-name
       (list x (strcat (vla-get-name x) "-NEW"))))
   )
 (vla-endundomark acdoc)
 (princ)
 )(vl-load-com)

Wow not only are you great, you're fast! Works like I was anticipating! Side note.. would it be a hassle to write a IF statement in there to overlook the block if the block SUFFIX is already NEW... Cheers 4 everything

Yes sure, it is already included in the program - so no re-renaming to blocks that already have a suffix of *-NEW.

 

NOTE: At the first post of my first reply I didn't include in the program to exclude Xref & layouts so if you copied the codes before that just recopy the new codes for a better performance.

BEAST MODE. Very much obliged.
