Might need to add (command "regen") at the end of the code to update blocks. I tend to use the first code on the page.

thank you for the response

I have no experience with autocad lisp 

im not sure where I would add the regen in the code

I'll assume you can copy the code to a text file and save it as something with a .lsp extension. Add the file to the startup suit from appload....

 

So in the code linked above there will be a ) right at the end, add a new line just before that and paste in 

 

 (command "regen")

 

in that new line. Otherwise run the find and replace LISP and then just do the CAD command "Regen" which will do the same thing but 1 extra step by the user
