VBA functions move attribute values from block to block.

These well-crafted VBA functions let you move attribute values from one block to another. Attribute tags of two blocks are compared to determine where to place the attribute values, which means the blocks don’t have be an exact match. To use this utility, you will need to load the BAS source code into a VBA project. (From AutoCAD type VBAide. Inside the Visual BASIC editor, select File, then Import. Navigate to blockattrib.bas and open it. Press F5 to run the macro.) A tip of the fedora to John for a great example showing the raw power of object manipulations.
