use of the replace block command

[RAMACCIA]

good evening to all users of the forum. I am a neophyte of autocad and it is the first time I write in the forum so be patient. . .
I wanted to ask you for help in the replace block command within the express tools.
the problem is as follows: I have to replace an existing block with another having different graphic representation and some common attributes.
the execution of the replace block command replaces me only the graphic representation of the block without new attributes.
to understand us after the execution I find the starting block with a new form but with the same starting attributes.
I hope someone can help me

Hi.
I found a discussion where the smirnoff user seems to have found the solution with a lisp.
but I would also try the system described by the irneb user
(considered by the debate)
the user spacecadet asks for help:
"I have a block with attributes. I want to exchange that block directly with a different block that has its attributes, it seems quite simple?
express tools blockreplace will replace the block with the new block name, but it seems to maintain the attributes of the original block. Am I missing something? "after some comment he writesthis problem was solved by the smirnoff forum member and his code when he helped someone in this thread

Replace only selected blocks with a different one

Let's say I have 20 blocks named "george" in my dwg. Now, I would like to replace only 7 of them with the block "george2". Is there a simple way to do it just by selecting these 7 and replacing their definition without changing the other 13 "george" blocks? Thanks...

solution proposed by the user irneb"of course you could do it without using extra lisp:select the blocks you want to replace (and one of the new blocks) and press ctrl+x to cut them into the notes.

1. start a new blank design and paste on the original coordinates alt+e+d (or and dit --> paste on original coordinates )
2. use blockreplace of fast tools (express --> blocks --> replace block with another block).
3. choose / choose the name of the old block, then the name of the new block.
4. ctrl+x again the blocks.
5. passes to the original dwg and alt+e+d

this should maintain orientation, level, properties, attributes, etc. even attributes left as they are (although the new block has no attributes). if you want to change even attributes, use attsync / battman."
