copy blocks without changing automatically

[Movilegno]

Good day to all,
I have autocad 2007 on which I create drawings with various blocks inside it then I cover everything on another design.... here arises the problem because in the years I have made many anonymous blocks and at the time when I take off the two drawings you will automatically change the blocks without that I notice.
Therefore I ask you: there is a system for which autocad warns me before modifying them so that I can rename them.
thanks in advance

check the expert variable, it must be set to 0 to have the request for redefinition of the blocks in the insertion phase.

I call on the Commission to read the rules and to present itself in the area or where else it prefers
That said...
My experience is that if I have a design in which there are blocks and take off the geometrically different blocks but with the same name, the "imported" blocks are not redefined but they take the geometry of those existing with the same name.
I don't know if I explained. . .

 

[Movilegno]

the expert variable is already set on 0

I'm sorry, but I'm not practical. I read the reg, but I can't find the area ot.

Yes, exactly and as you say, when I take off the geometrically different block but with the same name it automatically updates without giving me communications.
This causes me problems when I have so much blocks and risk not to notice the change.. .

But it goes...
if you find the area... find the area off topic;-)

a little further down... towards the end
After the job announcements!

I think it's hard.
do you have autocad or mechanical?

 

[PlannerRoad]

rename the blocks you have to go glue. of course giving him a name not present in the target design.
rename or lisp command rb di gp.

 

[MBT]

in advance the answer of novilegno. . .

Right, but if you have a few hundred blocks... You want to rename!

hello, and welcome to the forum

when it happens to me that I have to paste blocks that may have the same name as those already present use the rename command, select all the blocks and insert a fantasy prefix followed by * in order to rename them all, then take the new blocks

but I use mechanical, I don't know if with autocad is the same thing

 

[Movilegno]

exact blocks are many but only 2/3 are to be renamed because doubles, only I should every time check them all to see if there are doubles.

Besides this glue copy system between drawings I do it very often is not just a problem of a drawing in particular

 

[Shape]

exact blocks are many but only 2/3 are from this glue copy system

who invented this function should be lynched, it was the beginning of deprofessionalization. . enough to make a paste copy, change here and the project is made !!!
the last pyrla passing to make a complete project, obviously not working, but this nowadays is not that it is then very relevant, it cost little, in a short time so ok !!!

be sure and those 2/300 factors that one has studied for the specific case here we do not consider them ? grgrgrggrggrggrggrgr

I'm sorry for the oct

returning it

the expert function only works if you enter the file selection block and then insert it, then you that there is the request, but with the paste copy does not work, then surely he pastes more objects at once. . .

How did they suggest the only solution is that of renaming even if I recommend you to weigh this choice well, if the block was called so a reason was there? use then extracts or other to create lists?

 

[Movilegno]

I thank everyone for the help, I repeat the point:
I have autocad 2d 2007 and explain why some copies paste.
in the years between the various designers were built various machines usually fine to themselves. Now I find myself having to put them in plants with various machines.
es: machine 1 with 100 plates and 100 block names, the n° 10 has 40mm socket. machine 2 with 50 plates with 50 names in which there is always the n° 10 equal to the other but with 30mm socket (the knows that it is a starting error but now is so). when the amount of the 2 machines on the same lay out changes the block without notice.
rename of all files with * fails me and one by one and a work of weeks....thanks

 

[TheGio]

rename of all files with * fails me and one by one and a work of weeks....thanks

What do you mean?
If I don't know v2007 then it may be that it's not possible to rename them all, but if you type renames and press sends you the same window I posted in the image?

Why can't you?

(defun c:rbm(/ flag add l n)
(setq flag t)
(setq add (getstring "\nprefisso per nome blocco: "))
(while (setq l (tblnext "block" flag))
(setq flag nil)
(setq n (cdr (assoc 2 l)))
(command "_-rename" "_b" n (strcat add n))
)
)

credo sia quello che ti serve.

I have made copy of your commands on autocad then tried to paste the design with the block but continues to change it with the written :command: _pasteclip the double definition of the circle block has been ignored.


to answer plannerroad and thegio gives me "no valid filename" and then I would not create, over time, even more confusion with file names

 

[rpor66]

what I posted to you is a lisp command, which I attach ready for use, to upload (loadapplication) and run within the drawing (rbm) before making copy and paste.

the command asks you a prefix that will be added to the names of the blocks of the current design:
rbm
prefix by block name:
if you type n_, this will be added at the beginning of the block name, for all the drawing blocks.

bye

ok seems to work
Thank you all for your help
