Block already exists reactor
« on: July 11, 2008, 11:21:00 AM »
Hey guys,

I have a need for a reactor I suppose that would tell me if a block already exists in a drawing rather than just redefining it. I am managing our block library which we have setup in grids and alot of the graphics and names are very similar. I am adding new blocks and need to make sure that they don't exist already redefining my new blocks. Does anyone know of a way to do this? I guess I could just not create the block until I bring it into the grid but I am having to take the elevation from a design drawing and put it into a holding area where I am changing layers and adding attributes and such so I usually create my blocks there then merge them with the rest. I'm more curious to see if anyone has done something like this.
