Hi All-

All of a sudden I am having problems adding new blocks to an existing tool palette. So I have this particular dynamic block already on a palette. I then added some more additional visibility states to this block then I deleted the old block from the palette and drag the revised version of the same block to the same palette using the design center. Ok so the revised block is on the palette now so I now do a test placement of the block in a drawing and I AM GETTING A MIXED BAG OF VARIOUS RESULTS which is not good. . . One of the common results I am getting is that when I RIGHT CLICK ON THE BLOCK ON THE PALETTE AND "UPDATE IMAGE" THE BLOCK DISAPPEARS.... I must have lost my mind on this because usually I am good at this. Any suggestion on this.

Thanks

What is your [VAR]WHIPTHREAD[/VAR] variable set to? Try setting that to 1 if it isn't already.

Sorry Cadman, I tried replicating the problem on my system (based on what you wrote above) but cannot do it. It may be because I'm running 2009, I dunno. Maybe John (if he's watching this thread) can help by giving it a try on his system.

Post the block. I'll put it on one of my custom palettes in 2011 when I return to work on Tuesday morning.

It's 6:03 a.m. here on the east coast of the U.S. Where's the block?
