Overwrite an existing block with a new one with the same name.


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I've been trying to figure out a way to insert a new block in a project that already has one with the same name. I would like to have something asking me if I want to keep the old one or replace/overwrite with the new one. Keeping the placement of the old block in the project. I know that AutoCAD keeps the old version on a block if it has the same name as the new one, having to remove all instance of the block and purge all. Why wouldn't AutoCAD asked me ; [There is a block with the same name in your project, Would you like to; Overwrite, Rename, Cancel] Just like in file explorer on desktop.

 

Anyway, maybe I'm asking to much let me know guys if you have a suggestion, either a LISP or a command that I'm not aware of yet in AutoCAD..

 

Thanks
