Hi all We are working with blocks and there is a constant update that we have to do on the blocks, however when exiting the block editor it requests a new name when saving. is there a way to turn this off that it keeps the original name? There used to be a way to set the system variables to not rename a block after a block edit but i can't find the setting  Thanks all  ------------- Regards Nate... |

What is this "constant" update that has to be made to the block? Why don't you just replace the block with one that has a different name to begin with? Is the block attributed? ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

When I am finished editing a block using BEDIT and I wish to close it I see only this... ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Changing the sizes of objects etc. it has nothing to do with a name change however every time I close the block it asks me if I want to rename the block. it doesn't affect anything regarding the block itself (unless you decide to change the name obviously) just an irritation causing a lot of time to be lost. Thanks I'll try and send a screen shot when I'm on the server again ------------- Regards Nate... |
