    Hello,

    I'm attempting to write a script/LISP that will find and replace a particular attribute within a known block and tag.......and then use SCRIPTPRO or something similar to batch process some drawings...

    I'm using ACAD 2004 and have searched this discussion group and have come across references to SUPERFIND application/command, is this only to be found with ACAD 2002?
    If so, is there anything similar with ACAD 2004?

    Thanks in advance,

    Dom

  2. SuperFind does not do specific replacement using block and
    tag as search criteria, so I don't think that is going to help in
    that regards.

    FWIW, SuperFind is available for AutoCAD 2004/2005, as a
    part of the AcadX Library, but it is not free.

    It wouldn't be too hard to develop your own ObjectDBX based
    solution that can find/replace specific attribute text using the
    block name and attribute tag as criteria. That's not too hard, and
    if you're using LISP, then visit www.cadzone.com, and download
    the file vl-dbx.zip from the Free Stuff page. It shows examples of
    how to use ObjectDBX from LISP.
