Now that we’ve selected the block to be replaced in the drawing we can use the same process again to choose which block we would like to replace it with.
In the example below, Lighting Fixture 2 is the block to be replaced, once selected simply hit OK to move on. Next, the dialog box will ask to either pick an instance of the block in your drawing that you would like to replace and select it or choose it from the list of inserted blocks in the drawing. To begin, simply enter BLOCKREPLACE at the command line or find and click the button in the express tools ribbon tab as shown below:
The command is a little dated at this point in time but I am sure you will still be able to find a use for it :). The BLOCKREPLACE command and express tool is not used very often but it can be a great time saver. Easily and effectively swapping one for another throughout an entire drawing. In today’s post, I wanted to share with you all a quick way to replace similar blocks in your drawing with another block. I like these quick posts because everyone has time for a 3-5 minute video or blog post and in them, I try to teach or highlight a trick/command that could save you hours or more over your time drafting in AutoCAD. Today I’ve got a great tip for you all that I am sure will come in handy!Īs many of you probably already know, in addition to my regular tutorials, courses, and various posts I also like to share underused and lesser-known quick commands/tricks withing AutoCAD.
