How to add the SEARCH/REPLACE command into AutoCAD Web?

With a simple LISP utility you can extend your AutoCAD Web app (web.autocad.com) with the originally unavailable command FIND/REPLACE. So you can bulk-replace text strings even inside your web browser.

Download the Replace.lsp LISP file from Download and load it into your AutoCAD Web using LISP > Manage LISP > Upload File. Let it load automatically on startup (see the video).

Then you can use the standard command REPLACE in your drawings to replace selected text strings in Texts, MTexts, Dimensions and Block attributes with specified replacement strings. Entering the replacement string as "??" will just highlight the found texts matching the search substring.

NOTE: wildcards are not supported, strings are matched in any position inside the text entities.
