Find and Replace

(OP)
Using the 'Find and Replace' text function in Autocad only works in the active window, is there any way that this function can be performed over multiple pages???

RE: Find and Replace

Dear zak1976,
Follow the below instructions:
1. Enter the FIND command
2. In dialog box click on "Select Objects" button
3. At command line enter ALL
4. Press Enter to return to dialog box
5. In dialog box enter the expressions to find and replace
6. Click on "Replace All" button
All texts in all layouts and spaces will be replaced.
:)

RE: Find and Replace

(OP)
Thanks for that, but that doesn't seem to answer the question..... I have ten pages open (10) and need to apply that to every page, (every drawing, every session.... whatever you want to call it.)

RE: Find and Replace

Dear zak1976,
To perform the operation as batch operation, it needs some more programming in zero document state.
If I can free some time, I will write it for you.

RE: Find and Replace

Zac1976, (every drawing, every session.... whatever you want to call it.)  
By that statement I am guessing you mean multiple drawings (Your first post indicated multiple layouts). You can have 1 session of ACAD 2k+ open, with 10 drawings open and each one can have multiple layouts...
You would need a script to do a batch spellcheck over multiple drawings.

So does anyone actually know what this script should contain??? (Or can anyone write it???)

RE: Find and Replace

Guess not then ....................... cheers guys!

RE: Find and Replace

Zak1976, sorry I am unable to help you right now, but if you post this question to a lisp/customization forum or newsgroup, your problem will be exposed to someone who is in a better position to help you.
