Why is vla-insert different?

[Scoutr4]

Hi everyone, I encountered a problem yesterday. 

 

I have a Block.dwg file. I call the Block.dwg file into the A.dwg file and make edits within Block. After that, I run lisp. At this point, I encounter the following error.

 

When I insert the same Block again 

 

If I insert it with (command "-insert"). It is based on the block in A.dwg and the block I insert looks like it.

 

If I use the (vla-insertblock) function, it moves according to the inserted block and the blocks in A.dwg look like the block I inserted.

 

What is the reason?

Are you able to post a copy of the LISP so we can see what is happening? Sounds like your (command method is referring to the source file and the (vla- method is referring to your working file

I prepared a block dwg file and a example dwg file. And of course the lsp file for comparison.

I deleted the inner part of the block in the example dwg file. Without deleting this block, add the second block using the commands in the lsp file.

Note 1 : link for vla-insertblock >> https://www.afralisp.net/archive/methods/lista/insertblock_method.htm (I just changed the item line to select it)

Note 2 : After using the "al-insertblock" command in AutoCAD, run the regen command.

I think Steven is right , this is about redefining or not. When you insert a block without path , AutoCad uses the block definition allready present in active drawing. If you put a path to it , AutoCad will overwrite current block definition with the one on file. So , if you insert block for the first time , then edit it and after that insert the one from file , your edited definition will be overwritten again. Standard / classic / basic AutoCad behaviour.

I agree with what you said.

(setq theblock (vla-InsertBlock mspace ip 
                      item  xscale yscale zscale rot))

Editing the code like this fixed it. Thanks .
