I’ll leave the complete exploration of the command up to you. The command can be used for more than just renaming blocks too. The REN command was super useful, super easy, and it is my tip of the day.

I am doing select block, right click and them 'edit block in place.' It is selecting but its not going inside the block. I of course chose the last option!! The Solution I am using autocad 2017 and I am unable to edit block in place. At that point I could have left the drawing as is, I could have made new blocks with an orderly naming system and reinserted them, or I could have renamed the existing blocks with the AutoCAD REN command. As it stood, the block names I chose were more-or-less random.īy the time I realized the randomness of my block names I had already inserted many blocks into my drawing. I eventually realized that the names of the blocks would have been much more orderly if there was continuity to the way I named them. As I continued drafting, I continued creating more blocks of different power points. While drafting up this floor plan, I created a block for one of the power point symbols, and inserted it numerous times into the drawing.
