I have my Transmittal settings file format set to: AutoCAD 2007 Drawing Format with Exploded AEC Objects, but the E-Transmit will not explode the AEC objects in attached Xrefs. I can't find any setting that would allow this or prevent this. It worked fine in C3D 2012, but it's not working in 2013.

I'm looking for a way to explode a dimension. I've tried using the Explode() method, but it just results in an eInvalidInput error. Is there a way to explode a dimension into objects?
The reason for this is that I'm using Autocad Architecture and I'm auto-labeling and dimensioning some items I am inserting into the drawing, however the 2d elevation drawing tool in Architecture automatically ignores text and dimensions, so I need a way to explode these into lines so they will show up in the 2d elevation drawings.
Has any experienced a situation where they were unable to explode a block created with the cut & paste command?
My block "A$C58A67B84" which is an anonymous name created by AutoCAD is a floor plan from a customer in which we need to make changes or additions to however this block acts like when it was created the "Allow Exploding" box was un-checked. I know that was not the case though, since all I did was a regular "Cut & Paste".
I'm creating an array using a block from an existing dwg file on my drive. When i import this block on it's own, i can explode it to ownerspace with "bref.ExplodeToOwnerSpace();" but when i'm creating the array, i don't have this ability and i'm left with one of my blocks in the array exploded, and the rest not. How do i explode the blocks in the array? When i try to use acEntClone.ExplodeToOwnerSpace(); it doesn't exist and i only have the option of acEntClone.Explode().
The Original Block Document acDoc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Database acCurDb = acDoc.Database; LayerTable acLyrTbl;
I am having one region entity which is not getting exploded.
This region is resultant of solid editing (bolean opearions) on some regions. When I use explode() function to explode this region programatically it returns status as 'eNotApplicable'. And if I try to explode this region manually using EXPLODE command in AutoCAD 2010 it gives message as 'Cannot explode REGION'.
I am not getting why this is causing problem in 2010 only. It is working fine in other AutoCAD versions.
I have a block of a survey from an outside company which was sent as a block.I am guessing that when it was creating, they un-checked the box that allows it to be exploded.
I would like to edit the block, and without being able to explode it, I have to go into the block editor to do so.Is there a way in block manager to change it so that I can explode the block?
The 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.
I working with a LISP program which creates some assembly drawings on the fly. For certain parts of the drawing I INSERT other dwg files which of course become blocks. Once in the drawing the users are sometimes wanting to edit the drawings where the blocks are, which makes an explodeable block necessary. But since the drawings are not actually blocks until they are imported this is not an easy thing to resolve. The other thing to keep in mind is that this drawing process is completely automated. The user does not get a chance to interface with it until the drawing is complete. So asking the user to do something as the drawing is being created will not work.
where 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 there a way to explode a sketched symbol??? what i would like to do is place a sketched symbol with text from a custom iproperty, once placed it loses the link to the custom iproperty and is just dumb text.
I 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(?).
Is it possible to convert Text to a sketch in which I can edit individual letters. I want to use the text as a profile path for a plasma cutter. I tried Emboss, but Letters with islands in them, completely cut the letter out. I want to be able to add a bridge for one of a better word, by editing a sketch.
Is it possible in ACA2011 to explode a block, but control what layer the pieces go to?
I have a block for a closet rod and shelf , but it always has to be re-sized once in the drawing so i must explode it. since it was made on layer 0 it explodes to that layer and I have to change the items to the proper layer.
When using the TXTEXP command to explode text in Map 2012, the resulting text/lines are 1/12th their original size and automatically move to a different location (see the attached jpg). This behavior occurs in all drawings being edited in Map 2012 (my colleague who is still using 2011 has no problems exploding text, and neither did I until I upgraded to the new version...)
Although the results are odd, they seem to be consistently odd in that 1) the text is always scaled down by 1/12th, and 2) the text/lines always move to the upper right hand portion of the view screen (Model or Paper space, doesn't matter), right below the Minimize/Restore Down/Close icons. Using the explode text command via the ribbon vs. typing it makes no difference. Fiddling with the original text properties (i.e. making it annotative, changing the orientation or Z coordinates, etc.) also makes no difference in the resulting lines.
I am working in AutoCAD 2013 on a .dwg drawing. There is a section of hatch that was exploded at some point and I want to set the individual hatch lines back to a hatch grouping, but since it was done long ago, using the undo command is not an option. It there a way I can take all of the individual hatch lines and group them back into a hatch?
My goal is to get the individual hatch marks back to a hatch group so that way I can use the hatch editor to modify the hatch style. Is this possible?
I have a pattern of iassemblies in an assembly. If I change the member then all instances will change.
is it possible to explode/break a pattern into individual iassemblies?
I think this would be really useful. You can use pattern to layout the assemblies but then break the link to edit them individually. Perhaps to move one slightly, for instance. Or to change a particular member, as I need in this case.
I know that I can suppress specific members and replace with a new member. But this will loose the constraints I have applied to the members of the pattern.
By breaking the pattern there will be no parameters to determine the position of those exploded members, so perhaps they could be automatically grounded until you add new position constraints to them?
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?
Is there a way to explode a Component Pattern? I would like to create a 12 x 12 Component Pattern in an IAM and then explode it so that I have 144 individual objects.
when I explode a cad detail the dimensions change. How can a revert these back to the original dimensions before they were exploded? I need to work with the exploded detail so i can make changes....i use cad14.
