pablolotto Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 New member here. I am trying to set up some palettes to use at work and am using blocks to do so. What I've found is that my palettes work if I have left the blocks in place in the file in which I am creating the palettes. However, if I have deleted the blocks from the file, the blocks in the paletette will not work. Is this normal or is there something deeper? Thanks in advance for your help. Forwarning you that I may have ongoing questions on this topic as I prepare our palettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Welcome to CADTutor. When you place a block on a tool palette, it includes the path to the block in question. The palette doesn't contain the block, but rather the address for the software to go and retrieve it for you. If when the software goes to retrieve that block, it has been moved, without updating the path, or if it has been deleted then it will not be found, and thus it will not work.
