RanDeLuna Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I recently brought a Xref into a drawing that has a column grid and BubbleDef block that indicate the column numbers. Suddenly, I am unable to edit the BubbleDef's. When I try to bring in an editable BubbleDef block from another drawing that BubbleDef block becomes uneditable as well! Does anyone know what's going on here? BYW: the layer that the BubbleDef is on is unlocked and not frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Can you post the drawing, and the xref drawing, it might give someone a clue, but without seeing the actual settings and values that have been used in the block and the attributes it would be just plain guesswork at the moment. By the way bringing in a block from other drawings where it does work, if they have the same name, will not do anything, as the block definition that is already in the drawing where it doesn't work will overide any settings used elsewhere.

RanDeLuna Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Hi Steven...thanks for your response. Due to client a confidentiality agreement I am unfortunately, unable to upload the drawing. Thanks for your comments. I will try editing the block, renaming it and bringing into my drawing...Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 There is no need to post the proprietary information. Strip it out, post the block, and a file that it does not work in. Your solution might require a lot of work if you've got many instances of that block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(there were nested xrefs) i exploded them all and re worked them only to discover the issue later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
