Alle Blockattribute ändern
Command
line: GT_MOD_SHBL
Globally changes the block and shape properties like scale factors, rotation angles, relative scaling, relative rotation etc.
What to Modify?
Choose either Blocks or Shapes here. The subsequent dialog
box will allow only the selected object type to be selected.
Property to modify
Select here either Scale Factor, Relative Rotate, Absolute
Rotation Angle or Relative Scale as the case may be.
Enter value for selected property
Enter a destination value for the property specified above.
Rotation/Scaling Options
Under this heading, it is possible to specify the base point of rotation
or scaling. The base point is always specified in relation to the
insertion point of the block or shape. The Base Point can either be the
insertion point in which case the Rotate/Scale about insertion point
should be checked. If this is unchecked, the other options can be used to
specify X and Y offset distances from the insertion point measured in the
direction of the block or shape inserted at angle zero. These offset
distances are measured in the direction of the rotation angle (X Offset)
and the direction perpendicular to it (Y Offset).
If the Scale XY offsets by XY scale factors option is
checked, the X and Y offsets entered are considered to be for as unit
scale and if the block or shape has a non-unity scale factor, the offsets
are also multiplied by this value.

Command line: GT_ATTXFER / GT_AX
GT_ATTXFER transfers attributes from one block to another. You can specify the source attribute tag name and the target attribute tag name to transfer or let
GT_ATTXFER do an automatic transfer of all similar named attributes between source block and target block. The source and target blocks need not be the same block name.

The GT_ATTXFER command brings up the dialog box each time for setting the parameters. To go directly to the command, use the AX command at the command prompt.

There is also a setup command called GT_EASYATT_SETUP provided which
allows the block names / attribute names / attribute values to be

line: GT_MREDEFINE

The
GT_MREDEFINE command is used to re-define properties of multiple blocks at
once. This command operates on the block definition and redefines a number
of properties within the block definition and re-groups the blocks. All
instances (insertions) of the block is automatically updated. Property
to redefine:
Layer: Changes the layer of all block entities to the name
specified in the LayerName edit box.
Color: Changes the color of all block entities to the value
specified in the Color edit box.
Elevation: Changes the elevation value of all block entities to the
value specified in the Elevation Edit Box.
Thickness: Changes the thickness value of all block entities to the
value specified in the Thickness edit box.
Property Value: LayerName:
Enter the layer name to be used for processing. If the name entered does
not exist in the drawing, irt will be created.
Color: Enter the name of the color to be used. The color
value can be specified as Red, Green, Yellow etc or as a number from 1 to
255.
Elevation: Enter elevation value to be used.
Thickness: Enter thickness value to be used. Select

Block ersetzen
Command line: GT_REPBLK

This command is used to replace all insertions of one named block with another. The source block must be defined in the drawing while the destination block can be defined in the drawing or available as a DWG file. When Blocks with attributes are replaced, their attributes also will be transferred, where possible. The number of attributes in the two blocks need not be the same. As many attributes as possible will be transferred. If there are less number of attributes in the target block than in the source block, they will be lost. If there are more attributes in the target block, they will be left blank. All extended entity data will be transferred to the target block.
Source Block: Select the name of the source block
Target Block: Select the name of the target block
Block redefinition options:
Read block definition from external DWG:
Checking this option
allows one block to be replaced with another block of its same name and
the updated block definition will be read from an external DWG by the same
name as the block name. The external DWG file should be available in the
AutoCAD support path.
Read block definition from current DWG: Checking this option
allows one block to be replaced with another block of its same name and
the updated block definition will be read from within the current drawing.
Reposition target block attributes
at source attribute locations:
If this option is checked, the target block attributes will be placed at
the same location as on the source blocks. If the source block attributes
were moved manually, this option ensures that the newly created block
attributes will also be positioned at the same location as in the source
blocks.
Replace (selection) options:
Select manually: Provides an option to select objects that you wish
to move.
Select All: Selects all blocks matching the provided
name and replaces them.

Suchen und Ersetzen von Text/Attributen
Command
line: GT_ZOOMTXT or GT_ZT

GT_ZOOMTXT is a tool for text search and replace.
Search embedded text: Enables or disables checking
of embedded parts of text or attribute strings.
Case sensitive: Enables or disables case sensitive text handling.
Search Block Attributes also: Enables or disables search block
attribute text.
Replace searched TEXT: If enabled, the replace option is invoked.
The search text string is then replaced with the replace text string according
to the options set above.
Interactive Replace (confirm each replace): If enabled, each replace operation will seek
confirmation before proceeding. This causes the currently processing text string
to be zoomed into and allows it to be confirmed before replacing. The zooming is
done at the current viewport zoom scale. If you need to see through a text
clearly in congested drawings, you may need to zoom deep enough before starting
this command.
Search for: Enter text string to search for.
Replace with: Enter text string to replace searched string.

Absolute Rotation Angle [degrees]: Performs an absolute rotate in
degrees. Applicable for both graphics and attribute text.
Relative Scale: Allows block graphics scale factor to be

Move [slide] along X rotation direction: Moves the block graphics or
attribute text in the direction [ X ] of the rotation angle by the specified
amount.

line: GT_TXT2ATT

The
GT_TXT2ATT command is used to transfer text strings as block attributes.
Using this command, you can select a block name and specify the attributes
you wish to populate. Each selected attribute can then be populated with
selected text strings. Block
Name: Choose the block name to process from the list of available
blocks with attributes in the current drawing. Select
attribute tags: For the selected block, this list box displays all
the available attribute tags. Choose the attribute tags that you wish to
populate. Multiple selection is permissible. Upon
choosing the Ok button, you will be asked to select a chosen
block from the drawing. GT_TXT2ATT will then ask to select text objects, once
for each of the chosen attribute tags to populate. The text string from
the Text object will then be populated into the block attribute. The
existing attribute value is presented as a default. If you do not
wish to change it, simply press the ENTER key and do not select a text
object.

The GT_COMPAREBLKATTS command compares all blocks in the current drawing (with attributes) and creates a report of all blocks which have the identical attribute structure. This is a good QA and analysis tool to analyze multiple blocks in drawings which may have identical, slightly different or completely different attribute structures.
The report generated by this command tells which of the blocks have identical attribute structure. Accordingly, the blocks may then be merged (replaced by) into one name or the attribute structure of other blocks can be suitably modified to match the desired attribute structure.

separated by commas.
Example: 1-50,60,90-End
The above syntax would connect points from 1 to 50, then 60, followed by
90 to the end (maximum) point number in the drawing.
Two special values permitted in the syntax are 'Start' and 'End' which
