    Default Adding a dynamic block to a pallette

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi all

    I am creating dynamic blocks but having a hard time adding them to a pallette correctly.
    In my block folders from which I create my pallettes all the blocks there are separate exploded drawings which ACAD turns into a block when you input them into your drawing via a pallette.
    The trouble is that when I save my dynamic blocks in this folder I'm saving it as an already blocked drawing, I assume this is the problem as I have to explode it each time I insert it.
    Is there way to avoid having to explode each time I insert?

    Thanks

    Use the WBLOCK command to export your blocks to a folder.

    once you have the block ready to use in your tool palette, right click in the block you want to to be exploded when you insert in the drawing ( or select all ) select properties , in tool properties choose "yes" in the option explode.
