ACAD 2005 - blocks and their layers
ACAD 2005 - blocks and their layers
(OP)
I often receive drawings from our architects full of blocks on lots of layers. These are then Xrefed into my drawing. When I use express tools to snow flake freeze them it usually says layer 0 frozen and they are still there.
It is possible to go into layer manager and freeze the layer directly, but what are they doing to make this happen. Incidently we create the same problems in our own drawings so it's a common problem.
I presume it is to do with which layer is on and by layer etc.
Can you help. Thanks.

Unless things have changed in the newer releases of Acad, (we're still on 2000) I don't know of a way to do it. There may be lisp routines that you can find online that will let you select individual items within a block to freeze layers, but I don't recall ever having seen one.
