Does the REDEFINEBLOCK command only work on schedule symbol DWGs?
I made edits to LandFX irrigation blocks (following the steps in the "Customizing Drip Symbols" power tip video) and the REDEFINEBLOCK command worked by updating the schedule symbol file with the new source block. I wanted to use the REDEFINEBLOCK command to redefine the blocks (that I had previously placed in a test drawing and subsequently edited) but received a "Missing File: Hunt-RZWS-18-25-50-S20" error.
In a new drawing, placing this equipment worked fine and the block had it's updated symbol.
Is there a different method or command for updating blocks that are already placed in drawings?
Thank you,
-Cam

Cam,
The name of the block should be an indicator, that is not the block that you changed.
That is the combined emitter block, that includes both the symbol and the spray radius block.
You would need to either Explode that block, or go in the Block Editor, and there you could redefine the symbol block that you changed.
