2006 Block Editor

[Alnaibii]

in Acad2005, block editor opened with the drawing in the background. I found that very useful. in 2006, block editor opens in a separate yellow window. is there a way I can see the drawing where the block is inserted, in background, as in ACAD 2005?

You are confusing BEDIT with REFEDIT.

BEDIT is new to 2006 and is for creating/editing dynamic blocks (although it works fine for any block)
REFEDIT is still for editing blocks in place.

thank you.

now i have a new problem: i inserted a block from another drawing, and when i try to edit it it says
** Cannot REFEDIT anonymous block **
can anyone explain what's that supposed to be?

Just what it says. You cannot REFEDIT an anonymous block.
