Purpose: Search and replace text in all DWGs

Note: Search / replace attribute or text value inside DWGs
Processing mode: All DWGs in the list are processed automatically in sequence.

This tool performs a multi-drawing search and replace. You specify a text to find and
a replacement text. The software opens each DWG in the list, searches for this text in
attributes and textual entities (paper space + model space), then automatically replaces
it with the new value.
Goal: correct information everywhere (company name, project reference, date, etc.)
without doing it manually in each file.

  1. Enter the texts to process

    A dialog box opens. You enter:
    – the text to search,
    – the replacement text.

    Search / Replace dialog box
    Define the old text and the new text.
  2. Reading the DWG list

    The tool reads the list of DWGs displayed in the interface.
    All these files will be processed one after another, automatically.

    List of DWGs to process
    All listed DWGs will be modified in sequence.
  3. Automatic opening of each DWG

    For each entry in the list, the corresponding DWG is opened automatically.
    No need to open them manually.

    Automatic opening of DWGs one by one
    Plan-by-plan processing without manual intervention.
  4. Analysis of the DWG content

    The tool scans Paper Space and Model Space.
    It reads attribute values and text entities to detect every occurrence of the searched text.

    Search in attributes and texts
    Search in attributes and text entities across the drawing.
  5. Automatic replacement

    Each found occurrence is replaced by the new text.
    Special characters, accents, spacing, etc. are preserved exactly, except for the replaced string.

    Automatic text replacement in all DWGs
    Immediate update of each matching value.
