Scripts?

I have over 1 thousand drawn symbols that need to have an attribute changed from constant. Are there any script programs out there that work with acad in doing this?

 

Decide how you would do it with standard AutoCAD commands, then include them
in your script. That's all a script is, after all: a list of commands
contained in an ASCII file.

Take one of your blocks and make the change using the command line only.
Copy paste that command line into notepad minus options lists, command line
text...So. to Draw a line at a given point.

Command: Line
Specify first point: user input
specify next point: user input....and so on

Your script would look like this

line
user input
user input

If however you're looking to automate that script through many drawings and
directories try going to
http://www.74mph.com and purchase Hurricane for AutoCAD or

Script Pro from AutoCADs Migration assitance.

If you are looking for a routine to process a group of drawings you can download & use the BATCHRUN.ZIP from the following website: http://www.cadtown.com

 

You could write a Lisp to take care of the ATTDEF..and
use EC-Batch to batch process them all. No problem.
