I have a Problem now..

 

I have a BLOCK, contains object & Blocks, that Blocks also contains objects and blocks and so on..

ex.

BLOCK

Can it Possible

have any command or Lisp code for this?

It sounds like you have a fairly complicated "nested" block.

 

Is the "source" block the one at the deepest level?

[samcoozy]

I don't know about "nested object"

 

have any solution of my problem...

I was trying to educate you about the correct terminology. Blocks within blocks are considered to be "nested".

 

Do I have a solution? No.

In order to modify any of those properties I think that you will have to explode the blocks, after that modify the properties you need to modify and remake the block with the new properties!

Not quite a simple solution but I can't think at anything better at the moment!

Hi CAD89,

How do we know the number of times the object is nested? thanks

To answer your question, if all the entities in all the blocks are on layer "0" and color and linetype are set to "ByLayer" then any changes to the porperties of the base block will affect all the entities in all the nested blocks. The "SetByLayer" command should fix an existing block for you but I'm not sure if it was available in LD2009.
