CAD tip # 7214:

E.g. your drawing may contain blocks named 3.1601, 3.1602, 3.1603..., which are graphically identical (and each one is inserted only once). With RIBlock you can replace all such blocks with a single one, e.g. "B3.16":

• Load RIBlock (APPLOAD), run the RIBLOCK command and use the "Block name mask" box to enter the mask
• - alternatively, switch first to the commandline mode (set CMDDIA to 0) and then run the tool using the RIBLOCK command
• - on the first selection prompt - select blocks to replace - use the "Typed" option (to input block name)
• Type "3.16*" as the block name mask
• The selection of the new (replacement) block can be done by picking it or by entering its name
• Wait for blocks being replaced; possible attributes with the same tags can be automatically synchronized (from the original instance or from the replacement).
