Dennis, Me? Too Lazy? You bet! That is why I use AutoCAD! <g> Change works wonders on entities not found in block definitions. Attedit is necessary for Attribs. Both of these are not necessary if I use (subst) to define a new group 8 value and update the entity but then I have a problem with SEQEND entities I can not change. Now what about those entities in the block definitions and the layer the block was defined on? I guess I have to insert them one at a time exploded, modify their entities, and reblock them on a new layer (if necessary). By this time I could have created a DXF file, used AutoLISP or an external C routine to overlook the offending layer table entry when copying to a new DXF file, rename the other occurances, and DXFIN the new one. I take it by your response that you have never tried this? I have determined this reason to be my humble opinion why we have speakers at NAAUG and AEC Systems discussing their problems trying to standardize a wide area network of offices. If it was easy to translate between two office standards, there would be no need for discussion! Dave (Da_n right I'm lazy!) L.
