SyncPropertiesFromMFiles Method

If the DWG file contains more than one instance of the configured block names, all matching blocks are updated. The DWG file is saved back as the same file version as the original file.
A log file is generated if a LogIdentifier is provided, no log file is created if the LogIdentifier is Nothing. Please see Log Files for more information.
If no DWG file with the specified Drawing Name exists, then an error is raised.
