not sure i understand what you're gettin at cadaver. when i type in what you say it just tells me to select block, doesn't give me those options. the toughest thing i'm thinking would be to find and change only the 2 attributes detail #2 on sheet 5 to detail#2 on sheet 6 and not change detail #3 on sheet 5 to detail#3 on sheet 6. does anyone know what the hell i'm talking about?

Be sure to use enough letters to properly define which attributes are selected.

If you wish to select the attribute to change, answer yes to the second query and you'll be in a "select Attributes" loop where you can use Window or Crossing, etc.
