$audit_bad_block

Hi,

With one of our drawings, we had to recover it after a crash and after an audit, it obviously creted the standard Audit layer and block..

Now I've managed to get rid of the layer but the block is still in the drawing. It cannot be purged out as its in use somewhere and when I try to INSERT any block, the drawing freezes so I can't even insert it and maybe explode and purge etc..

This means that we cannot insert any blocks (either internal or external) into the drawing using the normal INSERT command. I know we have Design Centre, but its so sluggish..

Does anyone know how i can get rid of this block?

I even used Design Centre to drags all the layouts into a new drawing, copy in all modelspace entities into the new drawing and save it - thats how i managed to get rid of the Audit Layer, but obviously the Audit Block still remains..

Any ideas?

You have no idea on what layer the block is located?

Do you know the name of the block?

Can you use QuickSelect to find the block and delete it, then purge?

it may not help as you say you can't insert but when I have a stubborn block I do the following.....

draw a line on the page (diagonal works best for me).

BLOCK

select the block you want to delete from the drop down list

select the line

press OK

accept the "redefine" question.

You may now be able to find the redefined block which should show up as a diagonal line.

As they say, the best solutions are the most simple ones:thumbsup:
