Methuselah Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Hey guys, I know it's been years since my last post but I'm having a crazy problem with AutoCAD and blocks that just won't explode to go their own special ways. I've tried explode, xplode, burst, ncopy, laydel, and just about every other method I can think of to get the entities on their rightful layers. A little background, I work for an MEP firm and we get floor plans from various architects and use them to put in our stuff. Whenever we receive a new floor plan, the first thing we do is consolidate the huge amount of layers and objects to just what we need to function. We call this cleaning a background. Now, I have a slew of blocks of doors that have been "misinserted", so they can't be exploded and have their linetypes redefined. If anyone has any ideas on what I could do here, that'd be great... Thanks! Quote
nocturne00 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Try BEDIT the block, in the block editor, with nothing selected, prompt the properties, you'll see under Block>Allow exploding>Yes/No option Quote

They all are checked to "Allow Exploding". Quote
Methuselah Posted July 14, 2009 Author Posted July 14, 2009 Ok so I figured it out... Turns out, the block was "MINSERTED", or Multi-Inserted... The only way of exploding those (that I could find), was by using a lisp routine called ExplodeM I found here: http://www.xanadu.cz/en/download.asp?file=ExplodeM ExplodeM.zip Quote
