mickeforsberg Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) I have a drawing on which I have multiple block references with different rotation. Something has happened since placing the blocks and now if I select two blocks with seemingly different rotations, they still both show as 0 rotation. If I copy a rotated block and paste it, it pastes with a different rotation (the block's default 0 rotation, which is the block selected to the right in the attached image) An additional problem I've encounted with the drawing is that when I copy a block, the hatch inside the block is brought to front, covering the outline. If I edit the block reference and send hatch to back, all the blocks are reset. HOWEVER they don't all reset to the block's default rotation, a seemingly random number of blocks, while also reset, instead show as rotated 180 degrees (while it says 0 in properties) What is happening here?

CyberAngel Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I would guess that the differently rotated blocks were placed while in different coordinate systems. That's what the rotation discrepancies point to. Another possibility is that they're dynamic blocks. For some reason, AutoCAD seems to treat each instance of the same dynamic block as unique. I'm never sure what's going to happen when I insert one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the block editor I don't see anything "dynamic" about them though, but they do have the lightning symbol in the block definition list.
