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?
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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
with word EXPLODE i don't meen the explode command. To brake appart part (block or solid).
But i would like to "explode" all parts (blocks or solids) appart and move eatch of them some disstance appart from enother for presentation purposes and then join them together if i would like again with a command to return to original place.
Any way to do that automaticly with a command in Autocad 2008?
1. Im going to learn 3D now, but when i change my autoCAD 2007 into 3D workspace , it didnt give me the 3d modelspace , but give me the common 2d modelspace, how do i change this?
2. Can i explode the 3d object so i can edit each component of it, for example i have a ball? is that thing called wiremesh?
I am running AutoCAD 2012 Electrical. The source wiring diagrams I am working with have attributed blocks all over the drawing. For my purposes, I dont need to export the data, but I do need to change the drawing. When I use "Burst" or "Explode Attributes to Text" in the Express Tools menu, it does change the attributes to text. However, it throws all the data that is in in the attribute all over the face of the drawing. This is extremely time consuming to delete them as some are micro small text.
I need a command that will explode the attributes to text, turning the blocks into entities, as if there are no blocks at all.
is there BURST command or something similar for AutoCAD 2004 ? I need to explode blocks without losing text content

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a macro that can edit the default value off the attriburte for each block in the drawing. The new value must be empty.
But there is one exception. When the length of the current value is equal to 8 then the macro's has to do nothing and the macro must continue to the next block.
Unable to erase, cut or delete the block symbols or do the same to selected tools in template.

Recently got a new PC and due to problems with regular LT crashes I have recreated my customizations etc. from scratch.
Finally seem to have got everything working OK and how I it was on my old PC, other than one minor issue.
I have edited the CUI so that the "old" attribute editor (ATTEDIT) is launched rather than the enhanced (EATTEDIT) version.
However after double clicking a block a further third click is required to select block/launch editor.
Editing CUI back to EATTEDIT works ok with only a double click required.
I am struggling to edit the standard set of blocks that comes with AutoCAD such as receptacles junction boxes etc. I want to edit the standard blocks and then save my changes for future use. Right now the blocks come in at different sizes then I would like. I try to edit them in the block editor however the changes I make do not apply to any other or new drawings that I make.
I have attached an image of the differing symbols and sizes. I want them to be consistently sized.
In attachment is a file created in AutoCAD 2010. This file contains a block in the block editor that I can no longer edit the command in the message "Numeric overflow".

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a .dwg file which contains numerous blocks (70 or so) and they all have unique names.All these blocks have nested text.
I want to edit the attributes of all the text, in all these blocks, such that they assume the same text style, text layer and colour.
Obviously, with so many blocks, I want to avoid clicking on the text and editing the attributes individually.
I tried a lisp file called ATcolour.lisp, but even this is very time consuming.
Seems like Multi-View Blocks are like that hot red-head in high school that you really want to get to know until you get to know them.
I made a bunch of blocks for my electrical plans. Annotative symbols for plan view, 3D blocks for model view, and elevation blocks for elevations. I then started creating the MVBs.
Upon insertion the annotative blocks appear super small and the model view blocks scale way up. The model view blocks are not annotative and are not supposed to scale at all. It seems MVBs see any block inside that is annotative as an indication that the entire MVB shall be annotative. Fustrated, I finally found a work-around that is a bit half-arsed:
I made another block as a sort of holder for the annotative symbols that was set to not be annotative and inserted that into the MVB. VOILA! the MVB itself doesn't scale, but the annotative symbol inside the non-annotative block does. This works fine except for one caveat: I can't edit attributes that are in blocks inside of blocks. If I made another block to use in the MVB for the attributes, it would work, so long as I don't make it annotative, which isn't what I want.
So, A) is there a better work-around than the block-in-a-block-in-a-multi-view-block method, or B) Is there a way to access and edit attribute data of sub-blocks inside a MVB?
Maybe my next thread will be about red-headed Multi-View Blocks with carpets that match the drapes.

The 2D drawings I am working with were exported from 3D REVIT files to 2D AutoCAD files. There are several XREFed drawings that are both mechanical and architectural from the original REVIT files that for whatever reason, the block's line weights came over with line weights of 70 in those blocks.
When I plot, the objects are a blur with the line weight so high. I tried using the command "setbylayer" but that didn't work since nested blocks still had lineweights of 70. Is there a VBA or LISP routine to run through all the blocks (including nested) that can change the line weights to a given number?
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.
I'm trying to explode this block in a drawing i'm editing but autocad will not let me do this.

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.

how to Explode Spline?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'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().

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.

Instead of doing the slice command at every point, is there a way to explode them or un-union them all at once?
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.
