'find and replace' alternative

[hitpro]

Hi. I have about 50 drawings to fix and I have to make changes to many tags on each. I want all tags[about 25] to be renamed. I want to make these changes at one time. If that's not possible, I don't mind doing it once per drawing. I have used 'find and replace' on about 15 drawings already and it's been exhaustive, to say the least. I'm looking for a lisp routine, or other, that can do this. You know, maybe set it up one time, and go from there. Anybody have any suggestions?

Not quite sure how you are updating "tags". There is a Express tool called Import Attribute Information. Would you have Express Tools Loaded?

borgunit: i have to change, for example, all 1TT with 3IP, UUF9 with 9EE, etc. And the title blocks have to be changed as well. And, yes, i have express tools. i don't think i need to edit the attributes... unless i'm mistaken.

lpseifert: the discussion in that link seems like what i'm looking for. i will check it out. thanks.

thanks to you both. i will report my results, if any.
