Copy block to new drawing, use block editor and save this block as new one _BSAVEAS

Do all changes you need under new block and you do not need to explode original one

Easier solution:

Select the block you want to change.
Explode it.
Make your changes.
Select all of it again and redefine it with a new block name.  Be sure to Retain the linework in the drawing when you create the new block so you don't lose the position.

Try the use of BLOCKREPLACE ( and ATTSYNC for the blocks with attributes ).

Best method I've used:
1) Enter the Block Editor.
2) Do all your changes you want to do.
3) Save the changes.

After you come back to the original drawing, 

4) Use  command: BATTMAN
Select your block from the upper drop-down menu
5) Press the "Sync" button.
6) Click the OK button.

optional: 7) Use command: REA (to regen all)

8) Good luck Wink
