 Topic: can't explode block
Posted: 20.Dec.2012 at 08:40 |

hi i'm a student and work with autocad sometimes
like the title says i have a problem to explode a block, when i do autocad gives me te following messages:
1 was not able to be exploded.
1 coult not be exploded.
i searched for solutions on the internet but none of them have worked yet.
Also the allow exploding by properties is on so that can't be the problem.
does any body know what i'm doing wrong or what i should do.
Kind regards,
Nick

Hello nickske8X, have you got problems with your blocks or with other persons blocks ?
When you make your blocks you've got the option or not to authorise the block explosion.

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.

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.

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

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
