Search and Replace Text

The Search and Replace Text function is available for the following text-type elements in ARCHICAD:

Text blocks placed with the Text tool

Labels

Dimensions

Zone Stamps

Parameters of GDL Objects

Go to Edit > Search and Replace Text. Use this function to search texts in all eligible element types. It works on the Floor Plan and in Section/Elevation/IE, and Detail and Worksheet windows. It does NOT work for Autotext items.

See Search and Replace Text Dialog Box.

Note: The Search and Replace text function is not available for text-type windows. (Text-type windows include all Listing windows created with the Calculation function, GDL script windows, Project Notes, and Report windows.) In text type Windows, the Find & Replace command offers similar functions.
