*A##### Blocks

[mnpbalda]

Using ACAD 2010. All drafting is done in model space. Individual drawings are set up in paperspace. When I go to the first tab in paperspace, I put my engineers seal/signature on the finished drawing. I then CTRL-C my engineers seal/signature and go to the next tab and CTRL-V my engineers seal/signature on that drawing. Every time I go to a new tab, I have to purge the drawing because there will be hundreds of blocks in the drawing called *A#####.  If I do not purge the drawing at every tab, I can CTRL-V my engineers seal/signature onto maybe 2-3 tabs then my computer runs out of memory. I them have to purge the drawing, save it, close it and reopen it.

 

This only happens when I am inserting an object into paperspace. I can work with the drawing for a week and I never get all these *A#### blocks. But as soon as I insert my seal/signature in paperspace I get all these #A#### blocks. FYI, my seal block is 54kB and my signature block is 84kB. It is irritating having to purge the drawing everytime I switch to a new tab .Any suggestions.

*A#### is an anonymous GROUP, so you seem to have these as groups, not blocks.

 

Quote

*U### = anonymous blocks

*E### = anonymous non-uniformly scaled blocks

*X### = anonymous hatches

*D### = anonymous dimensions

*A### = anonymous groups

 

Post a drawing that does this, no need to share the actual stamp and signature just something anonymous (no pun intended), but has the same results.
