Macro to replace a text block in a drawing with another textblock?

David Dewey May 8, 2015 9:54 AM

Any direction someone could give would be appreciated? I know how to find an existing block by filename but I am unable to find an api for specifically how to do the replace.

Well, there's no 'Replace Block' functionality in SolidWorks itself, so you won't find it in the API either. You will have to get the existing block, make note of it's properties (position, scale, rotation, etc), delete it and then insert a new block, duplicating the properties of the original.
