That link didn't help. What is the EXACT name of the block you downloaded?

No wonder you're having problems. Despite the fact the tree is 2D it contains over 50,000 objects and has a file size of almost 1.7MB!
Did you explode the tree block when you inserted it into your drawing?
I corrected this post by removing erroneous information re: blocks and file size.

Hello create and John, you can also download the block : twoTREES[1].dwg of only 272 kb ( or others that you can find here ).
If you copy a block 10 times in a file, the file won't grow 10 times the value of the block itself but only a little more than one time the block value and it's a good aspect of the block concept.
