   Hey And3rsson , 

First of all you make sure if the drawing u are selecting is a block reference or not.
For this, select that drawing and see the properties(ctrl 1). On the top of the properties window you can see the description,
if it says block reference, Then there can be two ways:

1) bedit (be)- block edit comand will take you to the block editor and you can make the desired changes, and you can close this by close block editor button, it will ask you if you want to save changes or not.

2) Explode (x): explode is the simplest way, but make sure if you want the block reference in future or  you will have to create a new block again.
just explode the drawing block, make the desired changes and proceed.

Enjoy Work
