MarcoW Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 In autocad 2008, when making dynamic blocks, at some point you need to save them to your hard drive. I mean, not leaving it in the DWG as it was created, there might be other rubbish in the DWG... With casual blocks I used WBLOCK to do so. With dynamic blocks, I create them with BlockEditor. When it is finished, and I save the file something is going wrong: when I try to insert the block in a new dwg it says: Command: i INSERT Block test_01 references itself *Invalid* I am missing a big thingy over here... can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you allready. Btw.: I learned there are some cool tutorials on youtube about dynamic blocks... this is a good way to learn at least for me.

MarcoW Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Reading my own post I read my own lines: With casual blocks I used WBLOCK to do so. Well I tried writing a dynamic block definition with Wblock... it worked. Is this the moment where I need my %$#^kicked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 glad you are sorted but for future ref, if you get a "Block references itself" message it is because you have created a block in a drawing and then named that drawing with the same name. In itself this is not a problem. The problem come if you then try to insert that into another drawing. Rather than go into an endless loop AutoCAD just gives the above error.
