Replace entity in block
« on: July 18, 2011, 01:36:47 AM »
Is there any way to replace an entity (say a line) with another entity (say a circle) in a block definition using AutoLISP?

Yes.

It can also be done manually.

We'd need to know the rules related to the replacement before writing suitable code.

Can you elaborate more on the 'rules'? I am unable to guess what type of rules will be required?
Can you suggest the mechanism? I would be able to start if you give me few hints and then come back if I have specific problems.

Rules ..

What size and location is the circle in relation to which line in the block.

Is the determination dynamic or static.
If static you may be better served just inserting a replacement block.
