Method

This command displays the Block Replace dialog box.

Note:
  • Modified (anonymous) instances of dynamic blocks cannot be selected by name.
  • Externally dependent blocks cannot be replaced.
  • When a block with attributes is replaced by a block without attributes, the replaced block reference keeps the old attributes.
  • When a block without attributes is replaced by a block with attributes, the replaced block references doesn’t insert new attributes.
  • When an annotative block is replaced with a non-annotative block, the block reference keeps the old context data manager and annotation scales in the extension dictionary.
  • When a non-annotative block is replaced with an annotative block, BricsCAD adds context data immediately according to CANNOSCALE.
  • When a dynamic block is replaced by a non-dynamic block or another dynamic block, the old extension dictionary AcDbBlockRepresentation is removed from the block reference.
  • Dynamic blocks that are replaced keeps their parameter values if the replacement blocks have parameters with the same name and type.
