Don't see yours?
Three steps, a whole folder at a time
Shown with BlockSync. No AutoCAD to open, no drawing-by-drawing.
Pick the drawings
Point it at a folder or choose the files. You don't open any of them.
Change them in Excel
Every value comes out as a table row. Fill down, find and replace, sort: the Excel moves you already know.
Preview, then write back
See each change before it happens. A backup is made first, and one click undoes it.
Same job. Hours in AutoCAD, minutes with CADXChange.
Both routes end with the same drawings. The difference is how much of your working day the job takes — and how many chances there are to mistype a value along the way.
By hand
6 h 52 min
about 2.06 min per drawing
With CADXChange
25 min
about 0.12 min per drawing
Average of the ten example jobs below, for an experienced user. Change the number and see your own.
BlockSync
Update revision, date and checker in the title block of 200 drawings
The AutoCAD way
Open each drawing → EATTEDIT the title block → retype the values → save → close. ATTOUT/ATTIN and GATTE still work one drawing at a time; DATAEXTRACTION can't write back.
With BlockSync
Export all 200 title blocks to one Excel sheet → fill down → preview the diff → write back.
Values typed once, not 200 times — far fewer typos to catch later.
See how it works →BlockCopy
Roll a revised title block into 150 existing sheets
The AutoCAD way
Open each sheet → INSERT the new definition to redefine it → ATTSYNC → retype any values it reset → save → close.
With BlockCopy
Pick the source drawing and the target folder → dry-run preview → Sync Update. Every filled-in value is kept, matched by tag.
No lost attribute values to discover after the drawings have gone out.
See how it works →TextSync
Change a standard note and unify fonts across 100 drawings
The AutoCAD way
Open each drawing → FIND and replace the old wording → check the font in STYLE → save → close. Then again for every variation of the note.
With TextSync
Export every DBText and MText to Excel → replace or translate there → map old text styles to new → write back.
Every variation of the wording sits side by side in one sheet.
See how it works →Dwg2Pdf
Plot 300 layouts into a submission PDF set
The AutoCAD way
Check PAGESETUP and the CTB on every layout → build a PUBLISH sheet list → plot → merge and reorder the PDFs in another program.
With Dwg2Pdf
Add the folder → pick and order layouts → choose one CTB or color policy and how PDFs merge → plot.
The same setup is reused for the next issue — no rebuilding .dsd files.
See how it works →BlockCompare
Check what changed in the blocks between two issues of an 80-drawing set
The AutoCAD way
DWGCOMPARE each pair of drawings → scan the overlay → click into blocks to read attribute values → note the differences by hand.
With BlockCompare
Point it at the old folder and the new one → every changed block and field in one report → export to Excel.
A complete list, not a spot check — changes missing from the revision notes stand out.
See how it works →TextCompare
Confirm every requested note edit landed after a review round
The AutoCAD way
DWGCOMPARE sheet by sheet, or re-read every note against the comment log.
With TextCompare
Compare the before and after folders → every changed note listed with its old and new text.
Free — no license needed.
See how it works →DwgSearch
Find every drawing that references valve tag V-1024 in a 500-drawing project
The AutoCAD way
Guess which drawings might contain it → open them one by one → FIND → close. Windows Search can't see inside a DWG.
With DwgSearch
Type the tag → every drawing, layout and block that contains it, in seconds → one-click Locate in AutoCAD.
Free — and nothing gets missed because you guessed the wrong drawing.
See how it works →DwgConvert
Send a 60-drawing project to a client who still runs AutoCAD 2010
The AutoCAD way
Open each drawing → SAVEAS → pick the 2010 format → save into a new folder → repeat 60 times.
With DwgConvert
Add the project folder → choose DWG 2010 → convert. The folder structure is kept.
Free — and the report shows anything that did not carry over.
See how it works →P3DSync
Renumber valve and equipment Tags across a 150-drawing Plant 3D unit
The AutoCAD way
Edit Tags and UDA values in Data Manager asset by asset, then check every drawing that references them.
With P3DSync
Export every Tag and UDA to Excel → apply the old-to-new mapping with a lookup formula → preview → write back.
The diff preview lists every Tag change before anything is committed.
See how it works →LayerSync
Bring a 60-drawing set to the company layer standard and update the revision in every title block
The AutoCAD way
Open each drawing → rename and merge layers one by one (RENAME, LAYMRG) → fix layer colors → edit DWGPROPS → UPDATEFIELD → save → next.
With LayerSync
Read every layer and property into one grid or workbook → rename, merge, recolor and set the revision in bulk → preview → write back.
The diff preview lists every layer and property change before anything is written, and a backup is taken first.
See how it works →Estimates for an experienced user, taken from the example scenarios on each product page. Actual times depend on drawing size, hardware and file count.
Worried it will break something? Every step has a way back.
See every change first
A dry-run preview lists what will change, file by file and value by value, before anything is written.
Backed up, one click to undo
A backup is made before writing and checked after. Changed your mind? One click brings everything back. Cancel mid-run and finished files are kept.

Each of these works one drawing at a time
Still using AutoCAD's built-in commands?
They're great for one drawing at a time. Here's where each one runs out of road — and which tool picks up from there.
ATTOUTATTIN· Express ToolsIn AutoCAD
Exports and re-imports attributes one drawing at a time, through a tab-delimited text file.
Export every attribute from hundreds of drawings into one Excel workbook, edit it, and write it back with a diff preview.
DATAEXTRACTIONEATTEXTIn AutoCAD
Pulls attribute data out to a table or spreadsheet — but can't write edited values back into the drawings.
Two-way: the same workbook you exported writes straight back into every drawing it came from.
EATTEDITATTEDIT-ATTEDITIn AutoCAD
Edits one block reference at a time, in the drawing you have open.
Edit thousands of attribute values in Excel — sort, filter, fill down, use formulas — then write them all back in one run.
GATTE· Express ToolsIn AutoCAD
Sets one tag to the same value on every instance — in the current drawing only.
Give every instance its own value, across a whole folder of drawings.
ATTSYNCIn AutoCAD
Re-syncs references to the block definition one drawing at a time — and can reset filled-in attribute values.
Sync Update pushes the revised definition into hundreds of drawings and keeps every value, matched by attribute tag.
BEDITBSAVEINSERTIn AutoCAD
Change a block once — then redefine it again in every other drawing that uses it, one file at a time.
Push the updated definition to a whole folder of drawings in a single run, with a dry-run preview first.
BLOCKREPLACE· Express ToolsIn AutoCAD
Swaps one block for another in the current drawing only.
Upgrade Version retires an old block for a new one across every drawing — position, layer, attributes and dynamic properties carried over.
ADCENTERTOOLPALETTESIn AutoCAD
Drag a block into drawings one at a time.
Distribute clones a block definition into every drawing that doesn't have it yet — files that already have it are left alone.
QSELECTERASEPURGEIn AutoCAD
Removing a block everywhere means select, erase and purge — drawing by drawing.
Delete Blocks erases matching references across a whole batch, optionally only on chosen layers, with a backup first.
FINDIn AutoCAD
Find and Replace works inside the drawing you have open.
Export every DBText and MText from a folder to Excel, replace there, and write each string back to the exact entity it came from.
TEXTEDITDDEDITMTEDITIn AutoCAD
One text object at a time.
Edit or translate every note and label across a project in one spreadsheet.
STYLEIn AutoCAD
Changes a text style's font in one drawing.
Unify text styles and fonts across an entire project in one run.
PUBLISHIn AutoCAD
Page setups, sheet lists and .dsd files — slow to set up and easy to get wrong.
One screen: add drawings, pick and order layouts, choose how PDFs merge, plot.
PLOTEXPORTPDFIn AutoCAD
One layout at a time.
Plot every layout from a whole folder of drawings in one run — merged the way you need.
PAGESETUPIn AutoCAD
The right CTB has to be attached to every layout by hand before a submission run.
Pick one CTB or color policy (as-is, black & white, grayscale) and apply it to the whole batch.
COMPAREDWGCOMPAREIn AutoCAD
Compares two drawings at a time as a visual overlay — no list of which attribute values or block properties changed.
Compare a whole 'before' folder against an 'after' folder, block by block, field by field — and export the report to Excel.
COMPAREDWGCOMPAREIn AutoCAD
Highlights that geometry moved — but won't list the old and new wording of every note that changed.
Every wording change across two revision folders, listed entry by entry with old and new text. Free.
FINDIn AutoCAD
Searches the drawing you have open — nothing else.
Search every DWG under a folder at once — text, block names and attribute values, with one-click Locate. Free.
ADCENTERIn AutoCAD
DesignCenter's search can find drawings by block name, but not by the text or attribute values inside them.
A local full-text index finds any note, tag number or attribute value across a whole project in seconds. Free.
Windows SearchIn AutoCAD
Can't see inside a DWG file at all.
DwgSearch indexes what's actually inside each drawing. Free.
Data Manager· Plant 3DIn AutoCAD
Views asset properties, but bulk-editing Tag and UDA values across many drawings is still manual work.
Export asset Tags and UDA attributes to Excel, edit, preview the diff, and write them back across many drawings.
LAYTRANSIn AutoCAD
Maps one drawing's layers onto a standard at a time, and has no command-line version — so it can't be scripted across a batch.
Rename, merge and recolor layers across every drawing in one grid or Excel workbook, with a diff preview and an automatic backup.
DWGPROPSUPDATEFIELDIn AutoCAD
Edits the properties of the open drawing only, and title-block fields still need UPDATEFIELD afterwards.
Set standard and custom drawing properties across a whole batch; the fields are refreshed automatically after writing.
DIMSTYLEIn AutoCAD
Changes a style in the open drawing — matching text height and arrows across a set means repeating it drawing by drawing.
Set text height, text style, arrow size and scale on every dimension style in the batch, and regenerate the dimensions already drawn.
PURGEIn AutoCAD
Works on the open drawing, and often needs several passes before nothing more comes out.
Clean Up purges a whole folder in one go — repeating the passes in memory — and shows what would be removed per file first.
SCRIPTScriptProLISPWrite and debug a script, then run it blind — no preview, no automatic backup, no rollback.
→ Every CADXChange tool shows a preview of what will change, backs up first and can roll back — no scripting needed.
Start free, upgrade only if you need more
Every tool has a free edition with no time limit. Pro is licensed per tool, so you only ever pay for the ones you actually use.
Every paid tool has a free edition too: up to 10 drawings per batch, for as long as you like.
