Rename a block

Occasionally, you may need to rename a block in a drawing to provide a more descriptive name or correct an error in the name. This procedure guides the user through the steps to rename a block.

1. At the command prompt, type rename. This will open the Rename dialog box.
   The Named Objects window will display a list of named objects in the drawing.
    

2. Select Blocks from the Named Objects window. The Items window displays the names of all blocks in the drawing.
    

3. Highlight the block to be renamed. The block name appears in the Old Name window.
    

4. Type the new block name in the window adjacent to the Rename To button. You can also copy/paste the name from the Old Name window to the Rename window for editing.
    

5. Select the OK button to accept the new name and exit the Rename dialog box, or select the Rename To button to accept the new name and remain in the Rename dialog box if you need to repeat the process for another block.
