barristann Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 (edited) Hi all, I have blocks with 2 Attributes, but they both have the same name = "TEXT" How do I rename the 1st to NAME & the 2nd to NUMBER? Edited March 6 by barristann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhupp Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I think you can do that in block editor. either that or explode the block rename the attribute and then remake the block 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 As Mhupp suggested use BEDIT on the block, and click on attribute have properties open can change Tagname there, then do Bclose to save. You may need to attsync the block to update the redefinition of the block. Yes can do a get attribute1 change, then get next attribute, but to much effort compared to bedit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmanuel Delay Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) (vl-load-com) (defun c:test ( / blk lst1 i newTagList) (setq newTagList (list "NAME" "NUMBER" ;;"TAG3" ;; and feel free to add tags in case there's more than 2 ;;"TAG4" ;;"TAG5" )) (setq blk (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nSelect block: ")))) (setq lst1 (vlax-invoke blk 'getAttributes)) (setq i 0) (foreach att lst1 (vla-put-TagString att (nth i newTagList)) (setq i (+ i 1)) ) (princ) ) This code changes the attribute tags of selected blocks. But it probably doesn't solve the problem. It only changes the attribute of the INSERT, it doesn't update the definition of the block ... As everybody is saying: you probably better do block edit. Unless there's a reason why you prefer not to? Edited March 7 by Emmanuel Delay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
