 Topic: can't explode block
Posted: 23.Dec.2012 at 08:58 |

Hi Philppe,
I hope I am not late. If you are trying to copy something inside a block by using the hot keys(or keyboard command ctrl_c), well you can't. what you have to do is copy the object by typing copy or c then enter, click base point then click anywhere you can put it (which is visible of course). then select the copied object and then type in the command line REFSET then click remove, now it will be taken out of the block and placed onto you model layout. Taddahh!!! you've copied the thing!!!
Ciao!!!
Arnie
Never underestimate, always have a spare!!! :)

if i understand your question/remark good you mean that in refedit you can't do anything whit it. As i know (i'm just a amateur) refedit and block editor are 2 different things. If you set the block in block editor and do as i said last time it works

Hello N° 3 nickske8x, you are happy to do this because in my block editor ( REFEDIT ) I have a message that says : the command COPYCLIP is not accessible .

Finally got something that works, and its very easy
First select the block and go to block editor.
Than copy the block in block editor and paste it on a other acad sheet.
After this you can select al lines separately

thanks for the help everyone. I finally found a solution, now i can select al the lines separately. This is how i done it: I double clicked on the block than the screen reference edit came up i choose settings and saw that lock object not in working set was on. Turned that of and now i can do everything with the drawing. maybe its not the right way to do it? but i'm happy i can finally use parts of the drawing greetings nick

Hello N° 2 nickske8x, I took a look at your problem and it looks like that a block made with unexplodable option can't be exploded even with EXPLMODE = 1.
I haven't find the solution in the TIP 4023.
It's still possible to copy each line, arc, etc of the unexplodable block with the command NCOPY but it's exhausting because you just can select the objects one by one.
On the other hand, if these blocks were made unexploable it's maybe for a good reason.
But you can modify them with the command REFEDIT ( you "enter" in the block without exploding it and modify it like you want ), and it's maybe your solution.

If it is an anonymous block it can be exploded using the lisp routine, found in the link below, by Lee Mac (post #5) that uses defun c:ExplAnon to invoke the program.
