It is a great tool for managing your attributed blocks. Is there a lisp for this to do it in one time for all selected drawings Like selecting the drawings, select the block file, and after that run battman, sync. You can also control the Block Attribute Settings for the attribute fields. Normaly i have to open the drawing, insert the the modified block, run battman and hit the sync button. If I change the definition of attributes using BEDIT / RefEdit & BAttMan it changes all the blocks globally to exacly. Thus some blocks don't exactly look the same as the orriginal.
#Autocad battman removing data in blocks update#
You can remove attributes from a block, change the order of attributes, or update (sync) blocks that have been revised. I've used attributes extensively, and adjusted some insertions to fit (moved / rotated attributes using grips or Enhanced Att Editor). Notes from Cadalyst Tip Reviewer Brian Benton: BattMan manages the attribute definitions in AutoCAD blocks.

In addition to Sync, it can be used to change the order of several attributes within a block." In order to make old and new blocks equal and updated, use the Synchronize icon located in Insert Ribbon > Attributes Panel > Second Line, or type BattMan on the Command line. This leaves the file with two kinds of blocks that answer to the same name: the old one and the new one. You can remove attributes that you no longer want to include in the definition. You can highlight one, and then use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to change the sequence. If an attribute has changed and/or an attribute was added to a block, only the new blocks that were inserted since the change will look like the revised block. They appear in the same order in which AutoCAD prompts for them when you insert the block. When an attributed block is modified, it will need to be synchronized. "Plain blocks (which do not contain attributes) are different from attributed blocks in several ways. Turn On, Unlock, and Thaw all your layers. Click Application button Drawing Utilities Purge. "Need help with modified blocks that contain attributes? Call BattMan! (It stands for Block Attribute Manager.) Open a drawing that has unpurgeable items (bunch of A1nnn blocks) Say A1.DWG. All references to a block must be erased before you can purge its block definition. However, after you save the block you see the block is not updated. I opened the block in block editor, add another attribute then save the block. In this example below, I need to add an attribute to the room tag block.
