Text in an Existing Block

(OP)
How do I change the Text in an Existing Block?
The ACADBlock it's self does not have a TextString property or a Update property..

Thanks
Will

RE: Text in an Existing Block

in ACAD 2000 and above, you can use the Refedit toolbar/Refedit command to modify and save an existing block in a master drawing.  Hope this helps - John

RE: Text in an Existing Block

Here is a piece of code I have used that should give you an idea...


For Each acBlock In ThisDrawing.blocks 'check against block collection
    'Toggle through each object in block
    For intCnt = 0 To acBlock.Count - 1
        If acBlock(intCnt).objectName = "AcDbText" Then
            acBlock(intCnt).ScaleFactor = dblTxtSclFac
            acBlock(intCnt).Update
        End If
    Next intCnt
Next acBlock
