I have a block containing several parts blocks. When I explode the main block all of the parts are exploded back to lines. I have used both "explode" and "xplode" and have the same results. How can I explode so I have my components as blocks?
View 6 Replieswhen i export (or explode) my plan every window, doors etc... split in more "under-blocks", and that's ok. but i have a problem with the windows: after the explode command, one of the blocks inside (the one that shows the opening side) "jump" in the 0,0,0 coordinates point, but all the others remain in the right position.
PS: i think the problem is not in the window-block, because i tried it in another old file, and it works. and the autocad option are also always the same.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a block that i want to insert several times and revised each one to be different to do this i would have to insert it and rename the blocks that come in and then reinsert i would like to insert and have a lisp explode the main block and rename the other 2 blocks with a suffix at the end depending on how many times its in the drawing... can this even be done? My original block name that will be first inserted is "BENT PULLEY NOTES" it needs to explode after i drop it in and then there are 2 blocks within that called "Bent Pulley" and "Bent Pulley DYN" that i was hoping to keep the names but add a number at the end depending on how many are in the drawing already...
here is a lisp that i have found... it would work if i didn't have nested blocks and only wanted the one block to be insert and not explode...
(defun c:Test (/ e i name Bname )
(setq e nil)
(command "_.-insert" "Drawing1.dwg" pause "" "" "")
(if (setq e (entlast))
[Code] .......
I'm trying to explode this block in a drawing i'm editing but autocad will not let me do this.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe original drawing was created in Inventor but i've never had such a problem before. I've been revising a drawing and to revise, i need to move a block 50mm from its original position. It's not allowing me to do so though.
As soon as i select move...it goes into "not responding". I can't explode it either....i can explode everything in the model space and once....but this leaves all dimensions as lines arrows etc.
I've even taken the same block into the drawing....and move/exploded it without any problems. In the properties bar....they are exactly the same except for the coordinates!
The really annoying thing is....i can't even delete and replace as it keeps crashing! There aren't any constraints either.
This is probably very easy using ssget or something, but I don't know exactly how that works. All I need to do is to explode any occurrences of a block with a particular name.
View 7 Replies View Relatedwhere I have a drawing with 3D faces creating the Chassis of a desk, and the top and pulls were inserted from other drawings and are blocks. There are numerous drawings with this scenario and I am looking for a way to explode the blocks ONLY in the drawings without exploding the 3D faces as well. Then we'd like to purge the drawing of the nested blocks before saving it.
I'm hoping there is a solution that doesn't require us to open each drawing individually as there are hundreds of them...if not thousands. We didn't catch this 'mistake' until today and have created many, many product lines (started in November) with this issue.
is ter any way to explode a reference block
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have attached the block for reference. Now that I have found the error of my way with the annotative cutline. I have a slab-on-grade block that needs to have annotative hatches; I also need the cutline to be annotative and dynamic so that as the drawing scale changes the scale of the cutline will be match and I can adjust the length of the extension lines. I have made the cutline a nested annotative and dynamic block within the slab-on-grade block. When I insert the block into my drawing the cutline is annotative and the dynamic grips show up but they do not work.
View 0 Replies View RelatedI have a C#-WPF-Application. In this application there is a list of blocks in my drawing. When I click one of these blocks in the listbox I have several button-functions.
One of them: Select the in the list selected block in the drawing.
Another: Explode the in the list selected block.
I found several topics with Selection, but none of them worked for me. I'm looking for a selection via ObjectId or blockname of a single block, in the most cases the selectionfilter needs an array(?).
I would like explode a block which still maintain all sub blocks' XDatamyBlockRef.ExplodeToOwnerSpace() The above code does the job. However I can not get the exploded collection
Use the following code I can get object collection but there is no XData for each sub block.
Dim colAssemblyEnt As DBObjectCollection = New DBObjectCollection() myBlockRef.Explode(colAssemblyEnt)
My question is how can I get the sub block collection with each block's XData?
how we can explode block with attributes and keep the text of attributes as is without changing to value

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been given a drawing to edit and the creator has long but left the company. I need to explode the block in order to carry out the necessary editing however I cannot explode the block as it is an MInsert Block. I've searched the forums but I haven't found anything relevant. I've gone through the list of blocks present in the drawing to check that the "allow exploding block" tab is checked however there is no block for the whole drawing.
Is there anyway to explode the block and if so how would this be done? These are the blocks properties:
Select objects:
BLOCK REFERENCE Layer: "0"
Space: Model space
Handle = 57a34
Block Name: "*U243"
at point, X=-4237700.3549 Y=-1887128.2335 Z= 0.0000
X scale factor: 1.0000
Y scale factor: 1.0000
rotation angle: 0
Z scale factor: 1.0000
Scale uniformly: No
Allow exploding: Yes
And yes I can realize that allow exploding is set to yes but exploding block to attributes does not work.
Is there any way at all to explode all block references in a drawing so that basically all block references no longer exist and they're just sat in their relevant layers.
In short... exploded :p
But I mean one way to get ALL of them.
I have a dynamic block with visibility states.When I use the method BlockReference.Explode(entities) I get in 'entities' all entities including all those who are part of the visibility states not selected. But I want only the entities in the selected visibility state.What surprises me more, is that entities from other states of visibility, although they were added to the current space, do not appear.
How to retrieve only entities associated with the selected visibility state?Or how can I identify entities that are not part of the state of visibility?
var entities = new DBObjectCollection();selectedBr.UpgradeOpen();selectedBr.Explode(entities);foreach (Entity entity in entities){ currentSpace. AppendEntity(entity); tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(entity, true);}selectedBr.Erase();
In my Project I build a static Block by inserting dynamic blocks from a template dwg and then explode them.
Actually I create a new Data Base, insert the blocks from my template, set the according Dynamic Properties, Explode the Block in the temp DB and then wblockclone the resulting Objects in my destination BlockTableRecord.
This works fine, but:
in my source dyn. block there is an associative surface defined by a Polyline(Rectangle) , attached a stretch action to change the size. I can set the Width parameter, after the Explode the polyline itself is updated, but the planar surface is not... so if I explode this block I get a well stretched Polyline and the "base" surface.
Manipulating the dynamic Block works fine... If I have stretched 3D-Meshes, they are ok as well. It seems to be something with the planar surface object.

I would like to explode a polygone I've created within a block.
But I get the "_amexplode This command is not allowed while the REFEDIT command is active."
Um so, I have to explode the block, explode the ployline/polygone and recreate the block.
Or, I could minus the polygone from the block set, save the block, explode the polygone, reopen the block and add the lines back in.
I don't see an explode option in the "pedit" options.
Am I missing something here, is there more than one explode command now? It worked in a previous version.
I have created an attribute say 1 and made a circle and moved the attribute text next to the circle and now making a block including both text and circle but when the block is created the text disappears I have made sure to check the annotation on in both attribute and block creation. This is just happening in Autocad Map 3D 2012. Dont know why the text disappears but when i explode the block it is back.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI wrote this little piece of code (attached) that explode all the blocks in the current drawing.This is magical, compared with what we had to do in VBA.
This works perfectly but now I want to go deeper and managed blockreferences with attributes.Based on my code, I can determine if oBTR.HasAttributeDefinitions is true or false.
If the blockreference has attributes, I suppose I will have to use Explode instead of ExplodeToOwnerSpace.
My first question is, using explode, I need before to know in which space the blockreference is inserted (Model or any layout) so to insert the exploded entities correctly. So, is it possible from a blockreference to get its own SpaceId?
An another idea I had is to edit the blockreference (not the block definition) to replace attributes with text...
I got a survey that has hundreds of cogo points. I need to bring this into a mapping dwg but not as cogo points. What's already in the map file is block reference (trees, power poles, signs, etc.). When I explode the cogo points (select all) they turn into 1/100th of the size (although the Properties scale hasn't changed). If I explode one by one, they are fine. how I can get these cogo points into the map dwg as block reference at the correctoriginal size?

I am using AutoCAD 2012 (Electrical). I have a few blocks that I pasted in a drawing with text that is contained in attributes.
I would like to explode these blocks so that I can make some changes to them, but when I do this, I lose the text that is contained in the attributes. After exploding the blocks, I just see the attribute names rather than the text that they originally contained.
I hate to have to re-type all this info. If I could somehow choose to choose to convert the text originally contained in attributes to plain old static text, that would be perfect for me.
How can I distinguish a block that can't be explode in my LISP application? DXF group 280 not present in GETENTITY list.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt's been too long since I created one of these for Toolbars. I need a macro that will insert and explode a block. I just need the block's content, not the block itself. I can create a maco to explode a block with no path, but can't remember how to include the "*" in a file with a folder path to explode the block while its being inserted. Because of spaces in the file name, quotes (") must be around the path.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have received details that have been blocked that I need to edit. When I expode or burst them, the dims text and arrows grow larger than is required for the block and I cannot find any adjustment in the properties to bring them back to the correct size for the detail. Also the leaders lose their point and association with their text and become just a line.
Is there a command that will allow me to edit the block without loosing the current sizing and associations?
We are using both AutoCAD 2013 and AutoCAD LT 2013, and are having some difficulties doing something that seems reasonable...
Basically, we made a block that has the following attributes:
LENGTH
ORDER
CUT-OFF
MATERIAL
CUT-LENGTH
CUT-WEIGHT
CUT-PER-FOOT
When we define this block, we set the value for "CUT-WEIGHT' as (CUT-LENGTH - WEIGHT-PER-FOOT) and "CUT-LENGTH" as (LENGTH - CUT-OFF)
Those formulas work when we initially create the block. The goal is to be able to change the "LENGTH" and "CUT-OFF" attributes, and have the block automatically calculate the CUT-WEIGHT and CUT-LENGTH based on those values.
The issue is that once the block is created, the formulas no longer work. We have tried Update Fields, we have tried REGEN, REGENALL and more, but nothing seems to work. The only thing we have been able to do is define the block, then basically create the block a second time, with those respective attributes being linked to the initial block, which is both not ideal, and created other problems.
I am attaching a copy of one such block, how to make this block work properly.
The final use of this block is to insert it into Shop Drawings for our Companies Products and then link the block to a table that shows the values of the blocks as a Bill of Materials.
I am unable to currently upload a copy of any Shop Drawings, but if need be, I could ask for a "Dummy" Shop Drawing that I could upload.

All I need is to get the thumbnail (image preview) from blocks in my drawing with vb.net application.
I'm Using VS2010, and API.COM to develop this.
I found how to do this with an external dwg file, but in this case i want to show the thumbnail from blocks in a drawing opened.
I am trying to make a block with text inside in it. I need the text to rotate at 0 no matter what degree I insert the block into my drawing. For example the type of blocks I use are for fire alarm in which need to go onto different sides of the walls so I need a base point in which I can insert the block at but the text to always rotate back at 0.

ASME A17.1-2004
ASME A17.1-2007

Can I set up the block to let me do that?
Say I have a block which contains just a line inside. I overruled that block to show a circle. I have this overruled explode class, so whenever user at command pormpt explode that entity it would be exploded as a circle.
My problem is when I explode the block within code ( Myblockref.Eplode(dbobjects) ) . it will bring the line.
