T-Block X-Ref Causing Problems

I have a drawing with an x-ref called tblock. It isn't attached and it reads not found in the x-ref mgr. I don't need it, but when I place my tblock into the dwg, I get a problem. There's a large attachment to my block with text that inserts into my tblock that has a long string path ending in t-block.dwg. I can't get rid of the tblock listed in the x-ref mgr, and I can explode the block that I put into my tblock, but I can't get rid of this long string attached to my block. It won't erase without erasing my block. Thoughts?

You can rename yours to something like Mytblock or; Before you insert your tblock, Audit and purge the drawing to get rid of the existing definition of the xref. Audit will resolve the unused external references, and with purge, you can get rid of the block definition linked to it.

the tblock apparently had been inserted in this drawing at one time from somewhere else, then erased. The definition is still there, though.

This existing definition overides your new tblock when you insert yours because the name is the same. You have to clean the old one out by purgeing, or rename your tblock.

My tblock block is named 24x36 and not tblock, and my info block for the title block is named title-a. So I didn't have to rename anything. The purge and audit did the trick Dana.

Thanks again for your help.
