    I am looking to do a find and replace to many drawings and many different values (keynotes - five digit numbers) per drawing. I can not find a way tosuppress the find and replace routine to the command line. I would like torun similar script like changing layer colors etc per drawing… yetto change text values in many objects (attblocks blocks mtext etc..)
    Would someone know how this could be accomplished.
    I am running on ADT 3.3. acad2002.

  2. You can use the SuperFind sample application included
    with AcadX to search/replace text across entire directory
    trees of drawing files very quickly.

    I not sure how to crank it up...


    strings per dwg. Outputs script,
    process. I.E. open blank file, then crank it up. You will need to have a
    folder: c:\ec\miec\tools\ to contain all the files,

    Tony,

    I've used your SuperFind a several times in the past and found it to be,
    SUPER! It's really a great tool to have when there is a misspelling in a
    bunch of files.

    Thanks a billion!

    bbortz,
    (load "/ec/miec/tools/search.lsp"); loads it
    Be sure to place in c:\ec\miec\tools\ folder
    Copy all the files, including the .arx there.
    Shoud work fine.
