I have a attributed block that is on a number of drawings. We recently added
a few attributed lines to the master block. Is there a lisp routine or way
to easily update the already inserted blocks to incorporate the addition
attributes in the block?

Thanks

Insert the new block and redefine the old, cancel without inserting. Then use ATTSYNC.

If you're just a little handy with lisp, you can automate it.

If you are looking to just reinsert/redfine the block without entering the
attribute data, you can use scriptpro to do a batch update.

all you need is attredef (Redefines a block and updates associated
attributes )

You insert a the new block then expplode it making sure you know where
the insertion point is from the orginal block

at the Command line: attredef

Enter the name of the block you wish to redefine:

Select objects for new block: (select in the order that you want)

Select objects:

Insertion base point of new block: Specify a point

New attributes assigned to existing block references use their default
values. Old attributes in the new block definition retain their old
values. AutoCAD deletes any old attributes that are not included in the
new block definition.
