    Posted: 09.Aug.2013 at 21:22
Hi everyone, 

Im trying to find out if theres a way to edit a block once and would be change for all the sheets.
Reason is im trying to revise a titleblock that an architect sent us.. and apparently instead of using xref for the TB they used actuall blocks.. so I have to bedit change a # and save.. and i have to do this on all the sheets..

I'm wondering now if there's a way i could do a change one time and thats it.

Thanks

You may have found this out already, but if all the sheet blocks are in the same file the answer is YES.  You can make a change to the block and it will automatically affect all the blocks in the drawing as soon as you resave the block.

But if these title blocks are in different drawings you'll have more work to do.  You may be able to make tool palettes help you.  But a lot will depend on what data is being placed in the block, and how.
