Take updeted library block in to use

[akisal]

I have been using block from library in my drawings and now updated used library file and would like to update my drawings to use updated library block.

How do I do it?

Is it possible to select all xyz named blocks some how?

I'm afraid that's not easily possible at this point as there is no link between the part library blocks and the inserted blocks after insertion.

There is an alternative called XREF which is not supported by QCAD at this point but planned for a future release.

For now, the easiest way I can think of is:

- Open the block you want to update for editing
- Delete its contents

- Open the part library item with the new block definition as drawing in QCAD
- Copy its contents
- Paste into block of your drawing

Thanks Andrew.

Actually copy paste solution works quite well. My previous solution was over complicated involving block renaming and reference block change...
