Thank you. This has just saved me a lot of work swapping out 100's of the same block for another. 🙂

What if I want to replace those blocks just in living room? Not all blocks just a group among them?

Sir what should i do for attributes??

[@Element-Paysage]

@cadintentions Can I select multiple different blocks (selecting or select similar) and replace it with another?

[@elektriskietikli8497]

Thanks for video. Is there a solution how to replace blocks by using attributes? We have electrical schemas, and depending on text we need to place circuit breaker or fuse symbol. All logic we can do in excell and load all info to predefined block, but we need manually change general block containing subblocks sumbols.

How to replace some of the blocks that fall within the same block name, I don't what to replace them all.

[@BioTherm_DanW]

Wait... you said it'll replace the attribute value with the default from the new block. That has not been my observation. I have found that it keeps the existing attribute value from the original block and does not pull in the default from the one replacing the original. The behavior you describe would be desirable for me. Can you confirm the attribute value behavior you see w/ this command? Maybe it's a property of the attribute or another sysvar that determines whether the default attribute value is pulled in? Thanks!

What should I do to attributes after replacing old bloc to new block

[@BioTherm_DanW]

@@1NOnlyABI-t7o I would copy the text of the attribute that is desired. Select all of the block references (using probably quickselect "QSELECT" as the best built-in way) then in the properties window you ought to be able to paste the attribute text that you want all the blocks to have.

Thanks! Cheers

[@mohammedumair8785]

When it replace I couldn't get blocks at perticular point, I think the pick point is not center of the block 😀

What if I only want to change one block, not all of them?

[@GlennBoB1969]
