The command EXPLODE explodes the block reference to its original definition (definition entities). The command ExplodeIP ('inherit properties', from the ExplodeIP utility - see Download) sets the properties of exploded objects to the layer properties of the layer which hosted the given block reference. To Explode a Block Reference Products and versions covered Advance Steel 2018, AutoCAD 2018, AutoCAD Architecture 2018, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2018, AutoCAD Electrical 2018, AutoCAD MEP 2018, AutoCAD Map 3D 2018, AutoCAD Mechanical 2018, & AutoCAD Plant 3D 2018. EXPLODE it, not in the Block editor, if that's where you're trying to un-Block it, but out in the drawing where you can select it as a unit in the Explode command. Or am I misunderstanding something? It is possible in newer versions to define a Block so as to not allow Exploding, so watch for that.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Block Control In Reference Drawing?

I'm using Architecture 2011, but the problem is pretty generic.
I am working with a very complex vendor drawing and using it as an xref to my working drawing. I need to be able to freeze parts of the xref and change colors (for plotting purposes) of other parts. Under ideal circumstance this would require simple layer manipulation.
My problem is that a large percentage of the vendor drawing is made up of blocks. There are nearly 1000 different blocks. Most of these blocks were created using layers other than 0 - quite often more than one layer is used. Sometimes the block is inserted on a layer that was used in it's creation, sometimes not. The only way I can omit one of these blocks from my drawing is to figure out what layer was used in it's creation and freeze that layer. You can see how this could be a pretty tedious process.
My limited CAD knowledge only gives me: edit all 1000 blocks, changing them to layer 0

AutoCAD .NET :: Inserting Block Reference Which Stored In Same Drawing / DB

I am trying to write a function to insert a block reference of a block definition which is already stored in the same drawing.

How to use those methods for a block definition stored in the same drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Reference Surface (x) Not Found In Reference Drawing

I am getting this error in my production drawings.
My setup is as follows:
- EG.dwg has my existing surface in it. I create a data reference to use it in other drawings.
- Level One.dwg has the EG surface data referenced in, and I use this to create alignments, profiles, and finish surface. All of these are turned in to data references.
- Storm Sanitary.dwg has my pipe designs. I data reference in the two surfaces, profiles, and alignments, and create pipe networks. I create references for these networks.
- Plan Profile.dwg is the production sheet I'm getting this error from. Every one of my civil objects is data referenced in to this drawing. Everything is inserted correctly, the pipes show correct FG surface elevations for their rims, etc.
BUT when I open this drawing, I get this error. I assume it's because my FG surface is not directly in the storm sanitary.dwg.
How do I get rid of this error, without combining drawings, or promoting the surface to one or more drawings? Isn't this exactly what data references is made for?

AutoCAD .NET :: Error While Changing Block Definition Of An Block Reference

I'm trying to change block the definition of an block reference.
I did something like this:

AutoCAD .NET :: Determine If A Block Reference Of The Block Exist

I have a block: “Block_A”. I am trying to determine if a block reference of the block exist.
Currently I would iterate every block Reference in the Block Table, and then dig deep into each block ref . . . . .
I was wondering if I could just take “Block_A” and see if it has reference and where the references are. Perhaps this is just wishful thinking but I was hoping for a faster way to obtain the references then to iterate thousands of blocks in each table record.

AutoCAD .NET :: Insert Block Reference Using Block Name

AutoCAD .NET :: Polyline 3Ds In Block Reference

I have a weird problem with exploding block reference with vb.net as follows.
When I use BR.explode(DBObjectCollection), and append the entities in the object collection to model space,
the 3d Polylines inside the block reference do not get appended and I do not get any kind of error. The reason for this eludes me as of yet. (remember, simple polylines and lines and other objects do get appended to model space)
When I use BR.explodetoOwnerSpace(), the block reference explodes as it normally is expected to, but then I have no way to collect the objects from the exploded BR.

AutoCAD .NET :: How To Locate Text Near Block Reference

I have tried to use intersectwith to locate text (MText or DBText) near a block reference. Some times it works and some times it does not. The hard part for me is understanding why it occasionally works when most examples are just duplicates with modified text and attributes.
My block reference has 4 attributes to the left (Right Justified) of a circle and 2 attributes inside the circle. The text objects are used by some CAD operators instead of the upper 2 lines of attributtes. (Guess they dont know how to modify attributes) I want to locate these texts and insert text into the corresponding attribute.

Att 1 |''''| <-- CAD User will insert a txt over Att 1 and Att 2,
Att 2 | | <-- both attributes are usally left blank or contain a space

AutoCAD .NET :: Using Block Reference As Point Symbol?

I create a set of points in a drawing and create each point as a block reference containing the point, text and probably something else. Also I would like to use different symbols for points and each of the symbols is defined as a block definition, and for each point I create a block reference according to the symbol type. The question is if is there any way to 'combine' block definitions/references? I mean, I have common block definition for all points, whis defines somethin common for all of them. Also I have different symbols for each type of points and each symbol is defined separately as a block. But when a final point is created (containing common definitions and type-dependent symbol) I want to have it as a single block.

AutoCAD VB :: Updating Block Reference After Making Changes To Definition

I have a small vba sub wich changes the color and layer of all entities inside a block. It seems to work pretty well for the majority of blocks, but then if I try that on a dynamic block, the definition is correctly altered, but the references aren't updated...
I know for a fact that the definition has been correctly modified because if I type bedit, I can see the definition is modified. Then, in the block editor, if I save the block, the references are correctly updated.
How to force references to update after I made the modifications inside the definition ?
I searched for methods within the VBA Reference and I tried blockRef.Update but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

AutoCAD .NET :: Inserting A Block Defined With Block Attributes

I can insert a block with block attributes using the Inter op very easily:
Dim theBlock AsAcadBlockReference
Dim pickScreenVBA = myDoc.Utility.GetPoint(, 'insert the hydrant')
theBlock = myDoc.ModelSpace.InsertBlock(pickScreenVBA, 'Hydrant', 1.0#, 1.0#, 1.0#, 0)
Dim varAttributes AsObject
varAttributes = theBlock.GetAttributes
varAttributes(0).TextString ='3 Ports'
varAttributes(1).TextString ='Salt water'
Works great, but when I try using the non-inter op, all the example insert new Attributes and not add block with existing attribute (so I end up with duplicate attributes for each block - i.e 'Salt water' attribute is added to the block each time I run the code),
Are they any examples that does the same as above using the non-interop code?

AutoCad :: Add Some Attributes To Existing Block Using Block Editor

I'm trying to add some attributes to an existing block using the block editor, but after I save and close it I cannot see any 'placeholders' despite adding a default value and the attributes work fine when I double click the block.
I've tried using the ATTSYNC and BATTMAN commands but nothing works and there are no invisibility states applied to either the attribute or block and all layers are switched on.
I just tried making a quick block from scratch and it seems to have the same affect, except the default value will show, but no 'placeholder' shown if left blank.
I swear with previous version I could see the tag when a value hadn't been applied, so is it that the version I now use (2012) does not have this feature or it's disabled?

AutoCad :: Global Edit / Block Attributes Rotation BACK To Match Block Rotation

using AutoCAD 2009 (vanilla)
I got too smart for myself today in bringing an old drawing up to current standards...Everyone seems to want their block attributes to be zero - I have blocks where the attributes are best when they match the rotations of each blocks.
I have an old drawing that was rotated (as it should be) at approx 2deg.
I used a lisp routine to global edit all the blocks that needed to be at zero. BUT for some reason (and after hundreds of blocks were corrected), I noticed I now have two blocks that should NOT have been in the set have had their attributes rotated to zero....and the attributes should be at the same rotation as their block's rotation.
Because those two blocks have a fixed tic mark, I can click on the mark to see what the block rotation is, then rotate its attribute to that rotation, but I have hundreds of blocks! One-at-a-time sucks....
Any chance there is a GLOBAL way to edit an attribute rotation to match its own block's rotation?
