qball Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I have a dynamic block with visibility, array and stretch parameters. If I insert the block from my tool palette into a fresh drawing, then copy and paste a standard detail from another file, the standard detail loses all the actions applied to it and reverts back to the base block. I have tried Wblock the detail and drag and drop. It seems to only be with this one block. The block is correctly defined in the standard detail from the original block file.

DANIEL Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 are you sure its not being redefined by a block of the same name in the drawing your attempting to paste it into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qball Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 quite sure. I insert into new drawing. Then go to the Standard Details drawing, insert the original file "Redefine block" and it happens just the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANIEL Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 just checking , it sounds like a conflict between your blocks visibilty states but I don't know what would cause it with out them sharing some sort of parameter, have you checked the bvstate of both blocks?(may not even be the issue but I figure its worth a look see). I'm not sure what could cause this, have you you run an audit or recover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qball Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 Just tried audit and recover to no avail. BVState is the same in both blocks. That's the thing, it's changing it as soon as I import it. You know the "Reset Block" on the right click menu? It's basically doing that, but without my permission.

DANIEL Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 is it just these two blocks or does the one from your pallet cause this to happen to any block pasted in? it sounds almost as if its a setting but i cant think of one that would cause an override like this.

DANIEL Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 do your blocks have any associated parameters that may be causing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qball Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 It appears to only be the Masonry Block block. Nothing else on the palette. What do you mean by "associated parameters".... chained? Nothing chained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
