Redefine block - retreiving and passing block name.

    I'm using (cdr (assoc 2 (entget (car (entsel))))) I found on this site to retreive a block name from a drawing. Simple question, but what would the equivalent code be for passing that value onto the command line during a routine to redefine the block?

    Thanks!

    Jon.

    Sorted it. I've simply moved the 'select' routine to further down my command, when prompted for block name. Probably not correct but it does the job.

    Why not just use REFEDIT to redefine a block?
    Simple, straight-forward, no programming involved.
